Alternatively you can use wget to download the tarball and use
mk-origtargz --repack --compress xz <path_to_download_tarball>
to emulate what uscan would do (uscan also calls mk-origtargz). This
would let you settle with the same Files-Excluded statement as you could
do with uscan and it saves you longish and hard to maintain
get-orig-source code.

mk-origtargz --repack --compress xz $(pkg)-$(upstream_version).tar.gz
should do the trick instead of the deleted lines of code.
Kind regards
