I agree that this warning (it’s I only anyways) is invalid now. The
justification on  https://wiki.debian.org/DEHS says

        However, using uversionmangle to add the 'dfsg' part to the
        upstream version should not be considered as correct. This is
        based on the idea that downloading the upstream sources won't
        make it DFSG-free, so upstream's version is not DFSG-free but
        Debian's is. In other words: uversionmangle=s//+dfsg/ is not
        correct, dversionmangle=s/\+dfsg// is. 

but with the new features (and Files-Excluded in place), running uscan
yields a DFSG-free tarball.

Greetings,
Joachim
