New Revision: 21619

Modified:
   trunk/package_template/get-orig-source
Log:
Add note about uscan's repack option and mk-origtargz

The get-orig-source script is generally useful when uscan
cannot reliably retrieve upstream sources (usually because
of upstream not having versioned releases or a predictable
versioning scheme).
