Nothing.

"sf.net" gets rewritten by uscan to http://qa.debian.org/watch/sf.php/. So what
you're trying to access is really http://qa.debian.org/watch/sf.php/itext/.
There you find all the tarballs :-)

So, let's say, you want
http://qa.debian.org/watch/sf.php/iText-src-5.0.6.tar.gz . The line for
debian/watch is:

http://sf.net/itext/iText-src-(\d+.*)\.tar\.gz

Have a nice day :),
