+let us assume that it is not possible for new to have a version older than sid

+Whenever pushing, check for

+
+Want some invariants or properties
+
+ - .dsc of published dgit package will have corresponding publicly
+   visible dgit-repo (soon)
+
+ - when a new package is rejected we help maintainer avoid
+   accidentally including bad objects in published dgit history
+
+ - .dsc of NEW dgit package has corresponding dgit-repo but not
+   publicly readable
