Seems that it isn't only present on uscan: while running debsign I get a
segmentation fault.

I've carried out heavy tasks on the machine (compiling,etc), and apart from this
everything looks fine.

I was able to reproduce it again on my workstation configuration deployed
into a fresh lxc container (using https://github.com/viccuad/salt-configs).
There, uscan consumes all the cpu until it gets killed by zsh, and debsign
the same.

Well, that's a slipped leftover from the last maintainer. Thanks for the catch.

Using your d/watch I get the same behavior, both in my machine and the lxc
workstation.
