Thank you Paul. After I posted the previous message I dug into the uscan
documentation and found the new pagemangle option.

Here is the watch file I wrote to match the OpenJDK 11 GA releases:

version=4
opts="repack,compression=xz,pagemangle=s%(jdk-.*)%<a
href='http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk-updates/jdk11u/archive/$1.tar.gz'>$1</a>%g"
\
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk-updates/jdk11u-dev/tags
.*/archive/jdk-(11\..*)-ga.tar.gz
