Because maintainers aren't likely to make a new upload just for a watch
file, and some packages don't get uploaded on a weekly basis. Also, some
maintainers *will* refuse to add the watch file "just because". At the end
of the day, that's pretty much their decision, absent a Policy requirement
to have watch files (oh dear ghod) or a TC decision telling them to add it.
