I am curious what Jakub is trying to achieve.  Can we upload upstream
package with zip and xpi, now?  Are you trying such?

My first reaction was "Should we add yet-another-alias-option like
--no-mk-origtargz" and expand manpage to explain:
 Don't call mk-origtargz.  This turns off repackaging automatically.

Are you using "uupdate" or "gbp-import-orig --uscan"?  Then you may
still wish to run mk-origtargz to get properly renamed filename but
without automatic repackaging.  You may also wish not to give extra
option every time you update.   ... There may be needs for such option
and also support from opts= line.
