Should be easily doable:
***lucas at blop:~/dev/pkg-ruby-extras/packages/feed2imap/trunk$ uscan --dehs
<dehs>
<package>feed2imap</package>
<debian-uversion>0.7</debian-uversion>
<debian-mangled-uversion>0.7</debian-mangled-uversion>
<upstream-version>0.7</upstream-version>
<upstream-url>http://download.gna.org/feed2imap/feed2imap-0.7.tgz</upstream-url>
<status>up to date</status>

But it would be interesting to know what was the argument against it.
