[Bug 2011749] [NEW] Please update debian/watch to repack sources

[Vladimir Petko]

Public bug reported:

Recently an enhancement [1] has been added to uscan to support repacking.
Currently repackaging is implemented inside debian/rules. 

According to the Debian policy manual:
  The get-orig-source rules target has been removed. Packages should transition to debian/watch and
  use uscan where possible. [2]
