I agree with Gregor here: it would be helpful to be able to specify uscan options; for example, i usually run "uscan --verbose --force-download --repack --rename --destdir ~/deb/tarballs/" and i'm not really happy with the `import-orig --uscan` result as that breaks my workflow. would you think you could add a config-file option for uscan (maybe even defaulting to "--symlink --destdir=.. --dehs") so that users can customize it? thanks!
