Indeed. The manpage for uscan says:
--symlink
Make orig.tar.gz symlinks to any downloaded files if their
extensions are .tar.gz or .tgz, and similarly for to
orig.tar.bz2 for the suffixes .tar.gz, .tbz and .tbz2. (This is
the default behaviour.)
--rename
Instead of symlinking, rename the downloaded files to their
Debian orig.tar.gz names if their extensions are .tar.gz or
.tgz, and similarly for tar.bz2 files.
--no-symlink
Don't make these symlinks and don't rename the files.
You have presumably called uscan without the --no-symlink option; the
--no-symlink option to uupdate is too late: the symlink has already
been made by the time uupdate is called.

Up to here was uscan output. From here on is uupdate output.

Or using the --no-symlink option to uscan as well as to uupdate.

I think that always passing a --no-symlink to uupdate if that is the
action called would fix this problem. Then you would only need to use
the --no-symlink option with uscan and not with uupdate.
