the --force option worked like a charm!

the empty source package issue was eventually fixed by adjusting the 
repack script to deal with the oversionmangle.

one minor question: although uscan --force allowed me to download and 
build the MUT source package, when I tried "gbp import-orig --uscan" to 
create a git repo, it refused to download the packages again, and I was 
not able to find a place to tell uscan to use --force, is there a way to 
also import an MUT orig package to git?

thanks again
