Hi Toby, as far as I know Andreas Tille proposed a nice and really necessary tool to exclude and repack source tarballs [1], [2] (CC-ing him). But, it seems, it is not yet in uscan (sorry, I may be wrong).
I would also strongly recommend you to implement autotests using DEP-8 [3]. An example for python packages you can find here [4], [5]. Then your package will regularly be tested.
