If there is no way, other than following mailing list, to know upstream version and the upstream author doesn't want to help you 
there is no way for dehs to follow upstream release, but this is not the case of apg. I think that this watch file works fine:

version=2
http://www.adel.nursat.kz/apg/download.shtml  download/apg-([^b]+)\.tar\.gz debian uupdate
