During the process I need to create a temporary directory. Should I delete it
at the end of get-orig-source? Should I delete it in clean?
Yes, only tarball should be left as a result.
See Debian Policy §4.9 for details.
Thank you very much.
I still have some doubts, however:
1) what should be the name of the generated tarball?
The usual one :), i.e.: <package>_<upstream-version>.orig.tar.<extension>
2) what does "the original source tar file format described below" in
Debian Policy §4.9 means? (I was not able to find the format described
anywhere)
It looks like a bug in the Policy text to me.
3) what does "This target may be invoked in any directory" in Debian
Policy §4.9 means? Does it mean, for example, that I cannot use the
following command:
uscan --download-current-version --destdir temporary?
You can't, unless you chdir to the directory that contains
debian/{changelog,watch}. If you need an example, take a look at the
openinbrowser package.
