It looks like the <target> element can be used to find the filename that was created locally, so I don't think that would really require patching of uscan.

Another alternative would indeed be to create an empty directory somewhere and then assume that just make uscan put the file there. That seems fairly robust too, but is a bit more ugly than just looking at the --dehs output.

What do you think?
