Recently there was a posting on debian-devel about excluding some
version numbers in watch files (works with version=4).  We might
check this and perhaps add this to the watch file but it will not
scale if upstream does not find a reasonable version numbering scheme.
SO the fix would be to educate upstream about this.

I'm always in favour of a get-orig-source target.

Kind regards
