Sure, you need to replace uupdate by your own script and my suggestion was to let uupdate do this for you by a unified interface instead of having everybody writing its own debian/get-orig-source script. > > I'm using a more sophisticated script, that allows to filter at the same > > time as the file is downloaded, without actually extracting to disk. > > http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-mozilla/iceweasel.git;a=blob;f=debian/repack.py;h=a797d5471f20e0f8de155d483e5ad2f1b2c3bdc5;hb=c1ebf8be93add288837377e4fdd87f9c9f1082cc > > > > This can seem a worthless optimization, but when your source tarball is > > more than 80MB bzipped, it makes a huge difference (especially when > > downloading is rather slow, in which case the whole process is about as > > fast as downloading alone) > > > > It supports wildcards, and extra filters (sed-like).

This should be pretty simple to implement (I'd volunteer to do this but wanted to seek for comments before filing a bug report + patch).
