Bug#806237: lintian: false positive for obsolete-url-in-packaging in debian/watch

[Raphaël Hertzog <hertzog@debian.org>]

Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.38.1
Severity: normal
User: devel@kali.org
Usertags: origin-kali

I just got this warning:
W: bully source: obsolete-url-in-packaging debian/watch http://code.google.com/p/wps-bully/

But my watch file is like this:

$ cat debian/watch 
version=3
# The original repository disappeared, this is just a copy
# don't expect new releases there...
https://github.com/Lrs121/bully/releases/ .*/v?(\d\S*)\.tar\.gz

# Former hosting places:
# http://code.google.com/p/wps-bully/
# https://github.com/bdpurcell/bully

So the URL is actually in a comment and it's not used. It would be nice if
it ignored the content of comments in the watch file to only consider the active
URLs.
