I'm sorry to be a pest but this solution is incomplete. When `uscan` can be
called with usual parameters you may need no "get-orig-source" target in first
place. I sometimes introduce it in order to help remembering `uscan` arguments
which I had troubles to recall for a while.
If you decide to use "get-orig-source" then please make sure it is policy
compliant: it should work when called from any directory, not just from
current one (e.g. `/path/to/package/debian/rules get-orig-source`); it should
fetch ceurrent version by default etc. You can find the simplest sample of
properly working "get-orig-source" here:
https://wiki.debian.org/onlyjob/get-orig-source
Note $(PKD) variable and how it is passed to `uscan`.
Thank you.
