Had a quick look at some of these.
Is a blank line needed after the first line with "Version: 5" in it?


Yes, the version has to live in its own paragraph. See the manpage debian-watch, “Format of the Watch file, version 5”.

Bye!

Related, if you read the man page on manpages.d.o, you will run into https://github.com/Debian/debiman/issues/109, which is unhelpful. So sadly, you cannot trust the examples as rendered on manpages.d.o. A local man page reader should work fine though.

Best regards,
Niels
