There are many workflows for this, but my personal favourite is to skip any
such wrappers and rely on uscan (ie, debian/watch) only.  As most project
will want a watch file anyway, this reduces the amount of work.

Alas, the vast majority of projects use a git host that does provide tarballs
for a tag, thus I have never used uscan with mode=git (as downloading a
tarball is still more likely to produce a reproducible result), and thus
can't give you ready copypasta to use.

Sounds good.
