Well I can try when time permits.

The dpatch-get-origtargz script should have a mechenism to provide a hashsum 
verification, not the sums themselves, which will be provided by the 
packager. E.g.: dpatch-get-origtargz <origtardir> <exact_url> <hashsum>
I think this could be called from debian/rules to bootstrap the fetch and the 
build at once.
