Thanks for the heads up, Sébastien.

I tested the following debian/watch file (for octave-audio, in the 
example below), and it worked for uscan:

    version=4
    https://gnu-octave.github.io/packages/audio/   \
        https://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/octave/Octave%20Forge%20Packages/Individual%20Package%20Releases/audio-(.+).tar.gz

I will mass-update the packages in Salsa.d.o.

Best,
