Euh ...  that is also '.ini' format.
Over here I have dput-ng with documention saying I should
provide JSON, so I did.

Got parse error  ".dput.cf: File contains no section headers."

| stappers@bob:~/src/foo-pkg/foobarbaz$ dput ../foobarbaz.4.0-1_armhf.changes 
| Error parsing file /home/stappers/.dput.cf: File contains no section headers.
| file: /home/stappers/.dput.cf, line: 1
| '{\n'
| stappers@bob:~/src/foo-pkg/foobarbaz$ which dput
| /usr/bin/dput
| stappers@bob:~/src/foo-pkg/foobarbaz$ dpkg -S $( which dput )
| dput-ng: /usr/bin/dput
| stappers@bob:~/src/foo-pkg/foobarbaz$


Using '.ini' format got it working.
