However, there is one thing I find missing in version:5, at least in
debian-watch man page. I do not see any reference to "custom scripts".
Sometimes custom scripts are really useful when it is required more
than just remove files from upstream source, The alternative is often
a more complex get-orig-source target in debian/rules.

At the bottom of `man uscan-templates` it suggests this:

`perldoc /usr/share/perl5/Devscripts/Uscan/Templates.pod`

FWIW I wouldn't have guessed that this would contain additional options. If the manual page is incomplete, it should say so (like we do for the GNU utilities that have info pages).
