Allow sources to begin building before they are published
Currently, source uploads must first wait for a full publishing cycle before they can begin to be built, after which another full publishing cycle is required in order for the binaries to be published.
Since most packages build in much less time than is required for publishing, beginning those builds before the source is published would allow the source and binaries to all be published in the archive in a single cycle. This would also make more efficient use of available buildd cycles, since we would build packages as they arrive, rather than waiting for the next publisher run and queueing several at once.
This would be very useful for getting critical changes into the archive quickly, especially during the preparation of Ubuntu releases.
