I discovered something quite exciting:
$ curl -Ss
'https://api.ftp-master.debian.org/file_in_archive/%25/guile-fibers%5c_1.3.1.orig%25.tar.%25'
| jq .
[
{
"filename": "g/guile-fibers/guile-fibers_1.3.1.orig.tar.xz",
"component": "main",
"sha256sum":
"9384ce475cb9af6b20b80b36f21c0e6d847517e0b8e5648afb215d4ed6883160"
},
{
"filename": "g/guile-fibers/guile-fibers_1.3.1.orig.tar.gz",
"component": "main",
"sha256sum":

}
]
What should we do in this case? (Also, what if the orig tarball(s)
are supposed to exist, but cannot be obtained from the mirror?)
Options are:
* Don't provide any origs and hope everything works anyway.
Often it will simply fail since dgit's quilt fixup will want those
origs. In principle it might sometimes result in a REJECT, but not
very often I think because dgit push-source will bomb out.
But I think it may have a chance of working anyway.
* Fail right away.
* If some origs are available, somehow pick one (maybe via a
dsc_in_suite query). This seems complicated. And it won't arise
in a purely-git-based workflow where everyone is just using
git-deborig.
