Bug#754203: uscan: mk-origtargz cannot handle jar archives

[Markus Koschany]

Package: devscripts
Version: 2.14.5
Severity: normal

Hello,

uscan fails when I try to download the latest version of electric,
9.05, a jar archive.

https://packages.debian.org/sid/electric

I am fairly sure this was not a problem when I downloaded 9.04 a few
months ago. This issue might be related to
https://bugs.debian.org/748462

Use of uninitialized value $mime in string eq at /usr/bin/mk-origtargz
line 315.
Parameter ../electric-9.05.jar does not look like a tar archive or a
zip file. at /usr/bin/mk-origtargz line 320.
uscan: error: mk-origtargz --package electric --version 9.05 --rename
--compression xz --directory .. --copyright-file debian/copyright
.../electric-9.05.jar gave error exit status 255
