Okay, maybe I'm totally misunderstanding get-oct-pkg-src.pl, but does it
retar the tarball? A simple download is possible with the attached files
(it contains a dummy changelog, uscan wants a full infrastructure).

And according to uscan's manpage:
==========================================================================
The newest updates are retrieved [...] and if specified in the
watchfile, a program may then be executed on the newly downloaded
source.
==========================================================================
