That page list debian package not in sync with upstream. So if a debian
package has not a well done watch file probably we could have a debian
version more new that the upstream one. I suggest to send a bug with a
patch to correct the watch file. For example GDM is on sync on
experimental but not on unstable (because unstable and experimental
packages could have different watch file for example to follow different
development and stable upstream releases).

I think that the compare function could be improved more because, as u
can see, actually is very simple (from dehs svn repo):

function is_updated ($up_vers,$debian_vers) {
	if ($up_vers=='') return 0;
		passthru("dpkg --compare-versions '$up_vers' eq '" .
vers_conv($debian_vers) . "'",$great);
	if ($great!=0) return 1;
	else return 0;    
}

Any suggestion to improve it?
