Sorry for the very late reply! I have now installed devscripts from trixie-backports
and downloading the desired upstream tarball works, the orig.tar.xz symlink that is
created contains the version number twice.
Demonstration:
glaubitz@z6:..debian/fs-uae-debian> cat debian/watch
version=4
opts="searchmode=plain" \
https://api.github.com/repos/FrodeSolheim/fs-uae/releases?per_page=100 \
https://github.com/FrodeSolheim/fs-uae/releases/download/v?@ANY_VERSION@/fs-uae-?@ANY_VERSION@.tar.xz
glaubitz@z6:..debian/fs-uae-debian> uscan
Newest version of fs-uae on remote site is 3.2.35.3.2.35, local version is 3.1.66
=> Newer package available from:
=> https://github.com/FrodeSolheim/fs-uae/releases/download/v3.2.35/fs-uae-3.2.35.tar.xz
Successfully symlinked ../fs-uae-3.2.35.tar.xz to ../fs-uae_3.2.35.3.2.35.orig.tar.xz.

Anyone has any idea how to address the messed up version number?
Thanks,
Adrian
