A not uploaded state has the target distribution "UNRELEASED".  Once it
is uploaded this is set to "unstable" and the commit log says something
like:

    "Uploaded to unstable (or new)"

I think that's pretty obvious vor everybody even without a tag.

Its not about holding back version numbers.  As far as I know ftpmaster
is not really happy about Debian revisions different from "-1".  Besides
this extra options are needed when building to add upstream tarball.

As far as I know this is good packaging practice - at least all team
members I know are doing it this way.

Kind regards

       Andreas.
