   salsa-ci uses gbp export-orig and falls back to origtargz in case that    
   fail:   
      
   https://salsa.debian.org/salsa-ci-team/pipeline/-/blob/master/sa   
   sa-ci.yml?ref_type=heads#L440   
      
   gbp export-orig uses only git and does not use pristine-tar by default.    
   origtargz can fallback to uscan. So it would be even more interesting    
   where it failed for you.
