Hi Andrew, I've looked at the package and will sponsor the upload. One thing I think would be good to address is the get-orig-source target in debian/rules. It can't be called directly - instead it only passes the necessary arguments to orig-tar.sh when it is invoked from uscan by way of the watch file.
According to Policy [1], you should be able to call the target directly. I believe you can simply call uscan in that target in order to make use of the watch file, as in the example on the Ubuntu packaging guide wiki [2].
