These steps are not necessary and *if* you do them, you should rename
the directory to ferari-$(SRC_VERSION).orig/.

However, check, how uscan works to understand, why this is not
necessary. Say you called the source-package "ferari", but the original
tarball is called "FErari". Then simply create a symlink

ferari_$(SRC_VERSION).orig.tar.gz -> FErari-$(SRC_VERSION).tar.gz

This is also, what uscan would do, independent from the tarball name you
check for. There is no need to rename the whole tarball, which you could
also do much easier by doing:

mv FErari-$(SRC_VERSION).tar.gz ferari-$(SRC_VERSION).tar.gz

instead to decompress, rename and compress it. However, the symlink is
the usual way. I don't know any part of the policy that would force your
way from above.

HTH and regards, Daniel
