Stuart Prescott and I wrote the attached sketch of concept for chk-origtgz.

Unfortunately it doesn't work because uscan --safe doesn't repack the
tarball nor write the tarball to the same filename as what the usual
orig.tar.gz is called, but only what the upstream tarball is called.

Please note that it verifies the old tarball against the old gpg sigs,
but uscan does not yet store the old signatures in debian/ (#727096).

So this will need a way to make uscan do everything (including
signature checks, repacking etc) except running uupdate or other code
from debian/watch and debian/copyright, since running code from the
debian/watch file could cause security issues for DDs who want to check
tarballs when sponsoring packages.

I dropped tardiff since it didn't seem very reliable for the simple
test cases that I constructed.
