I've done this once, but with the cabal dependencies, not darcs.  Thus
the uploaded sdist was missing one of the source files, and
consequently failed to build.

I suppose the best way is to test this with a separate test repository
which you don't touch, except from pulling from your development repo
and checking that it builds.
