I've tested the git mode, but there is the same problem, as uscan use 
git dist, which delete the .git dir from the downloaded content. Yet 
I've found a way using the upstream git repo, directly in the 
orig-tar.sh. Using the upstream .git repository works well and permits 
to checkout the submodules.
It seems that the .gitmodules is not enough if the .git/modules/... 
don't exists. The other way was to parse the .git/modules manually to 
recreate the .git/modules... using git submodules add, but i think it is 
more dangerous.
The current orig-tar.sh has no dependency on the current wcc state (git 
repo or directly a source package without git).

I've also cleaned the orig-tar.exclude as the copyright file do the job 
through Files-Excluded.

Finally this package has been harder than i thought at the begining.

Everything has been pushed to alioth.

Cheers,
