When going through the documentation for the new watch file format, I met several boolean fields such as `Repack` and `Decompress` (plus the FTP options from #1109878, but I proposed to remove those).

In the documentation for `Repack` it says `When set to yes,...`. When I reached `Decompress`, it did not say what value was accepted but I assumed `yes`. Then further down, the man page shows the following example:

```
Version: 5
Source: http://example.com/release/@[email protected]
Version-Regex: files/@PACKAGE@@ANY_VERSION@@ARCHIVE_EXT@
Pgp-Sig-Url-Mangle=s%@ARCHIVE_EXT@$%.asc%
Decompress: 1
```

Which implies that `1` is used for `Decompress` and might work for other boolean fields I see. I would recommend we explicitly and consistently use `yes` for these cases through out.

Best regards,
Niels
