What's your rationale, Piotr ?I'd understand if there was something in debhelper/dh-python that would automatically handle debian/watch, but that's not the case, AFAICT... so, what harm is there to make things explicit
It "harms" everyone who reviews the package. It's impossible to write g-o-s target that is both policy-compliant and easy to understand. I don't want to waste time glaring at extra 10 lines of code only to realize it's a fancy wrapper over uscan.
