If there is another URL where your releases are available for download
we could point the watch file to this alternative place.
As a personal note: May be its time to leave SourceForge as hosting
platform. There are more modern and way less advertising noise ones
these days.

The question is: The real binary package is renamed to always reflect
even the latest minor version change. This always requires the fis-gtm
package to pass Debian new queue. I was wondering with it might be
sufficient to say for instance have a package named
Package: fis-gtm-6.3
instead of even adding -004, -006, etc. to the package name. I have no
idea about the practival implications since I'm not a fis-gtm user but
it might be worth discussing in your team whether the Debian packages
are really used in all minor version changes.
Kind regards
Andreas.
