Now that I looked closer at devscripts, I conclude we're both 
wrong. :-P

uscan (>= 2.15.10) calls mk-origtargz, which calls "xpi-unpack" (not 
"xpi-repack").

(The tarball uscan produces is quite different than the current 
.orig.tar, because the former lacks top-level directory. So if I were 
you, I'd postpone the get-orig-source removal until next upstream 
release. But then, it's not a big deal...)
