Well, there was a lenthy discussion, uscan bug, Wiki page trying to
summarise everything. The people who contributed did not brought up
your (and Paul's concern) and I guess Charles Plessy would have been in
favour of using d/upstream. I do not think it is my fault if you did
not raised you voice when it was time ...
By the way: currently you also have to audit another file in addition to
d/watch if you need to exclude some files. So the solution is not
actually a step back - it is just more structured now.
Kind regards
Andreas.
