UDD with new upstream version

I decided to try UDD again for a new upstream version that was just released.

I was following the documentation here:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DistributedDevelopment/Documentation/NewUpstreamVersion

I got to this step:

bzr merge-upstream --version 1.2 http://example.org/releases/foo-1.2.tar.gz

and after considering this would require me to look up the exact download 
address on sourceforge, decided to back up and do:

apt-get source opendkim
cd opendkim-2.3.1
uscan

instead.

I don't know if this is a documentation shortfall or it's really that much 
more complicated, but documenting/updating so this works easily with watch 
files would be a big win.
