The thing is, when you make such kind of uploads all you have to make sure
is that uscan still says your package is up to date.

You won't be bothered if you also maintain the watch file.
And as I said in my response to Raphael Hertzog I could skip those where the
Debian version has something like +svn, +cvs, -pre, and also probably skip
those such as yours: +n.
But those I really don't want to exclude are the ones
having 'dsfg', 'ds', 'debian', or ones whose watch file really reports an
older version (e.g. in Debian: 2.3.1, upstream: 2.0.1).
