I forgot to mention that it should also check for tgz & maybe tbz2/tbz.

The canonical watch regex for stuff that currently detects only one or
two variants should probably be increased to something like this:

(tar|tar\.gz|tar\.bz2|tgz|tbz|tbz2)

Some watch files might also have to check for other stuff, for example
the watch files of some CPAN modules seem to also just check for the
plain .tar extension and some of them the .zip extension. This probably
needs checking with -perl and CPAN upstream.
