Sometimes the Salsa CI fails because some jobs are stupid, but the 
results of other jobs are still important.

The uscan job is especially bad in this regard, e.g.:
* https://salsa.debian.org/salsa-ci-team/pipeline/-/work_items/568
* https://salsa.debian.org/salsa-ci-team/pipeline/-/work_items/569
* any upload of git snapshots that do not follow uscan's author 
   favourite version numbering scheme

I guess that at some point I will just disable the uscan job everywhere, 
since it is clearly doing more harm than good for my own packages.
