There is a way but it's certainly not "nice" compared to the ones of sourceforge and others.

https://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad/+question/21146 had the answer with a bit of luck I think that this is working:

version=3
http://launchpad.net/screenlets/+download http://launchpad.net/screenlets/.*/screenlets-(.+).tar.gz

The problem is that debian uses a redirector script for sourceforge:
       # qa.debian.org runs a redirector which allows a simpler form of URL
       # for SourceForge based projects. The format below will automatically
       # be rewritten to use the redirector.
