Bug#823624: devscripts: [uscan] please include tgz in @ARCHIVE_EXT@

[Daniel Kahn Gillmor]

Package: devscripts
Version: 2.16.4
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

some upstreams (like sks) ship their tarballs as foo-1.1.5.tgz

@ARCHIVE_EXT@ fails to locate this tarball.

The attached patch should address this concern.
