[debhelper-devel] Bug#515856: debhelper: please implement dh get-orig-source

[Christopher Hoskin]

Package: debhelper
Version: 10.2.5
Followup-For: Bug #515856

I had a similar thought. However, one problem is that there doesn't seem to be agreement on what get-orig-source is actually intended to do:

Some people are in favour of removing it all together in favour of uscan:

If someone does want to have a go at implementing this, there are some possibily useful suggestions here:
