Bug description:
  SRU justification:

  [Impact] Launchpad can't import some source packages from Debian unstable.  The fix is to cherry-pick changes from unstable that support unpacking (but, for minimality, not creating) such source packages.
  [Test Case] For the format 3.0 case, download the limnoria source package from Debian unstable and unpack it with "dpkg-source -x".  For the format 1.0 case, there are no examples as yet in unstable, but it's easy to construct one: download a 1.0 package (e.g. makepasswd), sign its .orig.tar.gz with "gpg --armor --clearsign", rebuild the source package using unstable's toolchain, and then try to unpack it with "dpkg-source -x" in precise/trusty.
  [Regression Potential] Confined to "dpkg-source -x", so it should be sufficient to check that unpacking packages without .orig.*.asc still works.

  Original report follows:

  https://launchpad.net/debian/+source/vlc/ is missing Debian branches
  for sid and stretch.

  This then also breaks auto-sync of some of Debian's packages to
  Ubuntu's development branch.

  This is apparently what broke the auto-import:

  dpkg-source: error: unrecognized file for a v2.0 source package:
  vlc_2.2.3.orig.tar.xz.asc

  See this discussion about including .asc files in Debian source packages which requires dpkg to be updated:
