Bug#715793: qa.debian.org: how to remove "updated debian/watch file" from PTS?



Hi Bart,

Thank you for adding some information about how to deal with the problem to

   https://wiki.debian.org/qa.debian.org/HowToHelpWithFixingWatchFiles

However I feel that your explanation is incomplete and allow room for
disagreement with maintainer.

For example, in the particular case of "cuetools" package, "updated
debian/watch" file suggest fixing old mirror that shall be removed
completely in the future. Since "cuetools" package is team
(un-)maintained future uploaders will be inevitably confused with such
suggestion. Therefore there shall be open(!) procedure to remove such
files, otherwise the only way I see to do that is to file a bug
report.

I do not understand why are you hiding information how to remove
updated watch files from PTS. It is not good that you're appears to be
the only person who posses this knowledge. Also I must mention that we
had this discussion before in private email where you ignored my
question at least three times in a row. This bug report is yet another
call for transparency.
