This new feature is now live on the ia-upload tool:
http://tools.wmflabs.org/ia-upload/
Please raise any issues on Github:
https://github.com/wikisource/ia-upload/issues

The conversion process takes about 15 minutes for most books, it seems
like. (For books that already have DjVus at IA, it uploads them
immediately though.)

Thanks,
Sam.
