Hi,
Just because uupdate entry in watch file enables to run custom script,
abusing it is not good idea.
uscan deligates its key functions to:
* repacking of upstream tarball/signature -- mk-origtargz
* updating new sorce tree -- uupdate
So adding uscan a capability to run custom script in place of calling
mk-origtargz is the right approach.
That's exactly like repack.stub discussed in # 858319
I need to address these bugs without making overcomplicated uscan to do
more work. Maybe if debian/mk-origtargz exists, it is used instead of
the default one. That's simple. This also enables if someone have
good script, I can merge into mk-origtargz.
Regards,
Osamu
