Of course.

Work in the current directory or in /tmp using mktemp. I have written
get-orig-source targets for almost all docbook* packages [1] I maintain
(where uscan isn't enough). Maybe they are useful examples.

The checksum is computed before you download the tarball. Compute it
after this step.
