Not that I'm involved in the packaging or the upstream here in any

upstream versions.

Unfortunately, debian/watch (AFAIK) doesn't include any details of any changes that were made to the tar.gz file by the package developer.

In this case, there is a debian/watch, and it seems to use github:

/alanxz/rabbitmq-c/archive/v([\d\.]+)\.tar\.gz
