uscan repacks zip and xpi archives automatically, but AFAICS there's no option to turn off this feature.

I am curious what Jakub is trying to achieve.

Download upstream sources (which used to be the primary purpose of uscan). More specifically, I'm using uscan in get-orig-source target of src:openinbrowser, where I have custom repacking code.

$ uscan --help | grep no-symlink
   --no-symlink   Don't call mk-origtargz

The name is a relic from when the only option was setting up a properly named symlink.

Right, that's not a very intuitive name... Also, I was grepping for "repack", not for "mk-origtargz", as the latter is mostly an implementation detail.

Are you using "uupdate" or "gbp-import-orig --uscan"?

No.
