salsa-ci uses gbp export-orig and falls back to origtargz in case that 
fail:

https://salsa.debian.org/salsa-ci-team/pipeline/-/blob/master/salsa-ci.yml?ref_type=heads#L440

gbp export-orig uses only git and does not use pristine-tar by default. 
origtargz can fallback to uscan. So it would be even more interesting 
where it failed for you.
