To be more specific, I reviewed your changes introducing these lines of code
before applying the patch. The commit that introduced the @ARCHIVE_EXT@
feature is
https://salsa.debian.org/debian/devscripts/commit/8ebab1c2bfa97830ca670d6830444297910282c7

Seeing that, I determined that adding extensions wouldn't break uscan any
more than it could be by having directly these in d/watch files.

It's far easier to fight for one's principles than to live up to them.
