From "origtargz" functionality of course. One can checkout package repository 
with upstream and pristine-tar branches and generate orig tarball using 
"origtargz" even if package is not uploaded yet in which case tarball is 
generated straight from repository.
origtargz(1) man page says "The main use for origtargz is with debian-dir-
only repository checkouts" which IMHO is precisely what does not work as 
expected.

I did not have much time to investigate root cause of the problem. Perhaps 
you know better what exactly is not working properly. It could be "pristine-
tar" or something else... Please feel free to reassign.

I think I've described symptoms precisely so it should be easy to reproduce.
