That's exactly the reason why we don't use:
>>> http://download.kde.org/(un)?stable/plasma/([\d.]+)/kwin-([\d.]+)\.tar\.xz

Currently kde.org is publishing the files:
 http://download.kde.org/unstable/plasma/5.3.95/kwin-5.3.95.tar.xz
 http://download.kde.org/stable/plasma/5.4.1/kwin-5.4.1.tar.xz

Note that the stable version is greater than the unstable one. The one that we 
need to care about is the newest (5.4.1).

Using two uscan lines we get the newest version and we can import it 
afterwards.

In any case, this is a side track comment from the feature request in 
question. The request is not about transversing unstable and stable paths but, 
when requested a specific version to at least try to fetch it.

Happy hacking,
