Bug#873001: [debian-policy] get-orig-source documentation should include a pointer to devref and a minimal example

Adding files to be removed to Files-Excluded in d/copyright covers
about (rough guess) 95% of the cases, without any further changes
needed.
And for the remaining cases, uscan honours a parameter in
d/watch to call a repacking script.

What I've seen about get-orig-source targets are very rare esoteric
cases. And I guess using the target is not forbidden, as well as
converting the makefiles runes from d/rules to a shell script called
by uscan+d/watch should just do the same.


Cheers,
