It's now ~easy to modify uscan to do this. We must fix some policy points:
 - a grouped package version is the join of component versions separate
   by "+~"

If this way suits you, debian/watch file will look like this:

version=4

# Main component
http://website /regexp/ group
# optional pgp check
opts=pgpmode=previous,.. \
 http://website /regexpSig/

# 2nd component
opts=component=node-foo \
 http://website2 /regexp/ group
# optional pgp check
opts=pgpmode=previous,.. \
 http://website /regexpSig/

# and so on

"group" replaces "debian"+"same". uscan calculates new version looking
at all "group" lines
