Hi,

The v5 has a header stanza followed by one or more "fetching" stanzas 
(either `Template` or `Source`). The example you gave only have one 
stanza meaning nothing will be fetched.

Note:

 1) `uscan` allows arbitrary fields in the header stanzas as default for
    following stanzas, but it will not trigger a fetch for the header
    stanza.

 2) manpages.debian.org renders all the examples incorrectly (omitting
    the stanza separating line). This is a known old but unfixed bug in
    the man page render (I think `adoc`, but I forgot again).

So try adding an extra newline after `Version: 5` and see if that fixes it.

Best regards,
Niels
