In the debian-watch.5 documentation under `FTP options`, the following 4 options are documented:

 * `Pasv`
 * `Passive`
 * `Active`
 * `No-Pasv`

All 4 options control the same feature - namely whether to use passive or active FTP. This looks like a transliteration of the version 4 format, where a "valueless" option is "nicer". However, in `Version: 5` every field must have a value.

I would recommend that we in `Version: 5` merge them into one field such as `FTP-Mode: passive` or `FTP-Mode: active`. This reduces the number of fields for people to learn, for us to document and for tooling to know about.

Best regards,
Niels
