Bug#573631: uscan: documentation

Hi,

When created POD version of manpage, I added description as:

HTTP site (filenamemangle)

The upstream tarball filename is found by taking the last component of
the URL and removing everything after any '?'.  If that leaves nothing
for filename, uscan generate filename using the source package name in
debian/changelog, the new version, and suffix .download .

If this does not fit to you, use filenamemangle.
...

 (removed to prevent bugs.debian.org SPAM filter blocking this mail)

See git repo.
 https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/devscripts.git/plain/scripts/uscan.pl?h=multitar

I hope this is good for you.  (This is not in main branch but in
multitar branch.)

Osamu
