When you put it like that, running it on a regular basis doesn't sound good.
I'd suggest:
Improve it a bit (zipre for eg)
Add it to devscripts.
Run it on new copyright files/homepages and if it produces a good
watch file then save the result. If not drop the result and don't
check this package again until the copyright file is updated. Watch
files saved as a result of this should be overridden by human-written
watch files from packages and also from watch file contributors.
Use it for generating a template for user-contributed watch files.
