Hi Ben,

Both of these bugs are probably caused by this line:

    https://salsa.debian.org/lintian/lintian/blob/master/checks/debian/watch.pm#L124

It requires that options are separated merely by commas (without
spaces) in watch file versions 3 or lower. You use version 3 with
spaces. In both cases all options after the first are disregarded.

The check has been for some time on my list for a rewrite. I finally
took the opportunity, and it is nearly done. Both bugs will be fixed
within a few days.

Thank you for helping to make Lintian better for everyone.

Kind regards
Felix Lechner
