Bug#764179: devscripts: [uscan] Incorrect order to download

[Leopold Palomo-Avellaneda]

Package: devscripts
Version: 2.14.5~bpo70+2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

- When I execute 

$ debian/rules get-orig-source
uscan --verbose --force-download --repack --compress xz
-- Scanning for watchfiles in .
-- Found watchfile in ./debian
-- In debian/watch, processing watchfile line:

opts=uversionmangle=s/(\d)[_\.\-\+]?((RC|rc|pre|dev|beta|alpha)\d*)$/$1~$2/
https://github.com/PointCloudLibrary/pcl/releases
.*/pcl-(\d\S*)\.(?:zip|tgz|tbz|txz|(?:tar\.(?:gz|bz2|xz)))
-- Found the following matching hrefs:

     /PointCloudLibrary/pcl/archive/pcl-1.7.2.tar.gz (1.7.2)
     /PointCloudLibrary/pcl/archive/pcl-1.7.2rc2.1.zip (1.7.2rc2.1)
     /PointCloudLibrary/pcl/archive/pcl-1.7.2rc2.1.tar.gz (1.7.2rc2.1)

....
     /PointCloudLibrary/pcl/archive/pcl-1.0.0.zip (1.0.0)
     /PointCloudLibrary/pcl/archive/pcl-1.0.0.tar.gz (1.0.0)
Newest version on remote site is 1.7.2rc2.1, local version is 1.7.1
 => pcl-1.7.2rc2.1.zip already in package directory
-- Scan finished

I think that I have a correct watch file, but maybe it's my fault. The
question is that the newest version of pcl is 1.7.2, not 1.7.2rc2.1

Thanks in advance.

Leopold
