Bug#1118077: lintian: debian-watch-file-is-missing produced although uscan uses d/upstream/metadata



Package: lintian
Version: 2.126.0

lintian will produce a `debian-watch-file-is-missing` I-level warning when `debian/watch` is missing. Newer version of uscan do not need a `debian/watch` file if `d/upstream/metadata` is present and contains all the necessary fields (for example `Archive: GitHub` + `Repository: https://github.com/group/project.git`).

Lintian should not produce a `debian-watch-file-is-missing` if d/upstream/metadata is present and contains all needed fields.

Regards,
