Ah, I see the confusion. I read the text as "[...] and the watch file
does no mangling (other than [...])"; thanks for clearing that up.
I'm still not sure the reference is needed. I suspect that as a
maintainer presented with the tag I'd assume that uscan(1) contained
information on why my watch file shouldn't contain the version number it
does. Others' mileages may vary, of course.
