From wiki.d.o/DEHS:
"==Things that everybody should know==
===Extraction of watch files===
DEHS gathers the watch files by downloading the .diff.gz file of a
given package proceding by extracting the debian/watch file from it.
This means that native and packages which contain the debian/watch
file inside the .orig.tar.gz aren't processed by DEHS.
Note that this is not a bug, if the package provides a watch file it
shouldn't be a Debian-native package."

Completing the last sentence: and DEHS won't download the orig.tar.gz
of every package not shipping a watch file in the .diff.gz just to
check if there's one.

Hope you understand the reasoning behind not downloading the .orig.tar.gz's.
