Yes, everything gets the current version from there (uscan, gbp dch, etc..).

That was downloaded from scratch. -dd forces the download.
When `uscan` doesn't work, I use `uscan -dd` which downloads a tarball

Only then dpkg complains about a missing orig tarball.
That points me to d/changelog having an incorrect version :)
