Bug#498108: qa.debian.org: package with comment-only 'debian/watch' reported as "Error"



Package: qa.debian.org
Severity: normal

Some packages do not have an upstream that can be checked. In many 
cases, such packages have a 'debian/watch' file consisting only of 
comments that explain why 'uscan' cannot be used for the package.

The DEHS reports this as a package "without a checkable upstream", 
which is not an error. It also uses the comments in the 'debian/watch' 
file as the explanation.

    <URL:http://dehs.alioth.debian.org/maintainer.php?name=lojban-common>

The QA package summary incorrectly lists "Error" for the package, 
linking to the DEHS report (which shows it as not an error).

    <URL:http://qa.debian.org/developer.php?packages=lojban-common>

The QA package summary should, instead, report this situation 
indicating the upstream version is unknown, but *not* as an error.
