OK. That's fine. The job of uscan is to create a source tarball. But
that's all and nothing else. Uscan is older than git. ;-)

I do not think so. If you would to the information in pristine-tar
becomes invalidated since the repository contains something else
than what is stored in pristine-tar. The only way I know is to do
again
git import-orig --pristine-tar /path/to/new_tarball_version.orig.tar.gz
To my experience the content of the pristine-tar branch is properly
updated that way even if you get some warnings. If you might face
some trouble with this step please post this here.
Kind regards and thanks for your work on fw4spl
Andreas.
