Of course, nobody would object to that, but this bit can be seen as
necessary.

NACK. While uscan can be considered an API, it looks much like an
implementation to me. The API you get with it is that you can call
"uscan" with its parameters, but you cannot implement that API with
anything else. An API is something I expect to be able to implement
in different ways; get-orig-source enables individual DDs to do that.
Cheers.
