James,
	The idea was discussed here: 
https://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/devscripts-devel/2015-December/004496.html

	The idea only pertained to uscan's use in informing reports like DDPO 
about new available versions. That said I was hoping more people, such 
as yourself,  would get a chance and take the time  to consider the idea.
