BTW, there's even documentation on how to use it (and what else is
needed):

Hm, not sure if changing the semantics of an existing option is a
good idea.
What I like about our current way is that I -- once d/watch is

+dfsg
What I also like about our current scripts is
- that the suffix is configurable if needed
- that it manipulates also MANIFEST (ok, that's perl-specific)
