This is a little work for every maintainer for put this info public,
take a generated watch file and insert in his package. For i very long
and tedious work and i think is a sort of "mass" bug filling to BTS
because the problem is always the same: go to dehs, keep the auto
generate watch file for your package, check it, and the insert in your
package.

It isn't a dehs adoption, watch file are already specified in the 5.10
point of the Developer Reference and the watch file system was
introduced by the devscripts debian package for other purpose.
The problem about sending regular reports about Dehs (actually it runs
every two day) is that i'm not a DD so i can't post on d-d-a maling
list.
