[Pkg-javascript-devel] uscan (and mk-origtargz) behavior (was: JS policy: repackaging upstream tarball when minified js files are present)

The upcoming devscripts version, providing the new mk-origtargz script,
should ensure this behavior (if no --repack is provided, i.e., if the
repacked tarball keep the same compression than upstream).
