this can obviously be further generalized and improved, for instance, you
can use uscan --dehs | xmlstarlet sel -t -v //upstream-url to get the
upstream name when it's weird, that kind of thing (though using uscan
--symlink plus the resulting .orig link works just as well). this is,
again, not something i'm proud of here, but it does churn out package updates.
