This is the question I am worried and I needed some time to think so I
will not make wrong decision.

uscan is used to scan upstream without downloading upstream.

The case when the normal scan with --no-download fails is when there is
no new version is available.  So exit code itself is not useful for
scanning but by combining it with the output of uscan, they can be used
to determine availability current or new version and goodness of watch
file.

So anytime users use --download-*, they wish to set --download too.

I guess I need to write manual accordingly.
