I'm filing against all 3 possible packages which might have a bug here.
Example package node-mermaid. It fails on all packages that uses
multiple source tarballs. (gitlab is another example and many node
packages use multiple source tarballs).
These are usually created with gbp import-orig --pristine-tar
We have to always fall back to 'apt source' command whcih makes
pristine-tar useless in these situations.
I think origtargz should try apt source when pristine-tar fails.
I'm not sure if it fails only with tar.xz though.
$ origtargz
