Attached my stab at this. As we've got uploads for both unstable and stable (p-u) coming up, this seemed like a good time.

The script is in shell, basically as that's the only language I'm sufficiently fluent in.

I've taken the byhand-tag script as basis, but basically written the logic from scratch. I've included as many sanity checks as I could think of. Let me know if you feel anything is missing.

In your example invocation above I missed one parameter: the target suite. This is needed as the script should IMO also work for uploads to stable and oldstable (it should at least not unpack those into unstable...). I've worked around this by parsing the suite from the Changes file, which is passed as the 4th parameter (IIUC from reading process_unchecked.py). However, it may be more solid to pass that as a separate parameter instead (preferably with the translation to -proposed-updates already done).

I've tested the script successfully.

Cheers,
FJP
