Bug#505857: lintian: false positive debian-watch-file-should-mangle-version
Hi,
Bug:
https://bugs.debian.org/505857
https://bugs.debian.org/884880 (cloned bug of above)
I just updated manpage of uscan to reduce stress of our fellow DDs for
Bug #884880.
I agree with

I agree uscan deserves more code refactoring and it should expose its
internal utilities to other codes. Unfortunately, my skill and time is
not up for the task.
So I simply addressed Chris's concern https://bugs.debian.org/884880#57
by updating the manpage to point people to the pertinent information. I
hope the recent checkin is good enough.

But what is this "[1]This is on my ToDo list for DEHS2 anyway." in bug
report? Raphael, are you still working on something?
Regards,
Osamu
