Bug#822233: devscripts: Uscan warning output breaks UDD and tracker.d.o

Package: devscripts
Version: 2.15.3
Severity: normal
Usertags: uscan

uscan outputs
"No upstream tarball downloaded.  No further processing with 
mk_origtargz ..."
and exits with error code 1.

This is a warning and not an error and wrong, too, as the source would 
be downloadable:
uscan --download-current-version will result in

 >[..]
 >Newest version on remote site is 2.0.1, local version is 2.0.1
 > => Forcing download as requested
 >-- Downloading updated package htop-2.0.1.tar.gz
 >-- Checking for common possible upstream OpenPGP signatures
 >-- Successfully downloaded updated package htop-2.0.1.tar.gz
 >-- Successfully symlinked /htop-2.0.1.tar.gz to /htop_2.0.1.orig.tar.gz.
 >-- Scan finished
which is fine.

The result of this warning-as-error is then e.g.:
https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/htop

 >Action needed
 >Problems while searching for a new upstream version
 > [Severity] high
 >uscan had problems while searching for a new upstream version:
 >No upstream tarball downloaded.  No further processing with 
mk_origtargz ...

So kindly please fix uscan and update in jessie-backports for DSA use 
(which will then fix UDD and tracker.d.o again).
