Bug#554688: lintian: [new check] illegitimate use of uscan in get-orig-source

Package: lintian
Version: 2.2.17
Severity: wishlist

Without special precautions (like changing current working directory and
using --destdir option) using uscan in the get-orig-source is likely to
violate the Debian Policy requirements, i.e. it won't be possible to run
invoke the target in any directory.

It would be nice if linitian detected some cases of such invalid use of
uscan.
