I reverted your watch file to match the lines in your bug report. The
download works file, although the tarball is compressed (in xz format,
by default).
uscan defaults to gzip compression if the Debian source repository is
"1.0" or undefined.
If this is still an issue, was your intention that uscan leave the
upstream tarball uncompressed?
