Of course I'm sure, I've tested the snippets before posting it on the 
list. Did you test this on your side and have any issues?

You need to ask the person that did probably this creation or 
modification. I can't answering this.

You seems to expect that the wiki is all known and answering place. No, 
that is this not. It's by nature always "outdated". But it's a wiki, 
everyone can edit it.

Well, that's not that complicated for uscan, it does mainly one thing 
(which is done in multiple steps, have a look into the man page), it's 
scanning upstream resources, fetching data and creates an tarball ready 
for importing.

I see one that is relevant to your original question. The other two you 
mean are used in other "opts" variables, these variable are also 
explained too in the man page of uscan.
