Thanks
While that file contains info about custom templates, I could not find
anything about custom scripts.
I have browsed devscripts code and looking at
/usr/share/perl5/Devscripts/Uscan/WatchSource.pm seems that internal
name for custom scripts is "updatescript ", so I tried
Update-Script: debian/repack-local
in debian/watch version 5 file and seems to work as I expected
(updatescript should have also worked).
debian-watch-4.pod mentions that scripts (not calling them custom
scripts, the part using that name was dropped but is still present in
uscan man page).
So this seems a documentation issue. Bug report filed
https://bugs.debian.org/1119152
