Package: devscripts
Version: 2.10.2
Severity: normal

Given this configuraton file:

  version=3
  # Debian QA redirector to find new files on sourceforge
  http://sf.net/projects/pcmanfm/pcmanfm-(.*)\.tar\.gz

The error message is:

  uscan warning: In watchfile debian/watch, reading webpage 
http://qa.debian.org/watch/sf.php/projects/pcmanfm/ failed: 404 Not Found

When trying to access the URL in the error message, it directs it to:

  http://heanet.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/projects/pcmanfm/

SUGGESTION

If the intention is to use always heanet.dl.* address for sourceforge 
locations, this is not
bullet proof, because not all projects are distributed / mirrored in heanet. 
The redirector
could send a "HEAD" HTTP request to check if the URL exists and switch to 
another
redector as needed.
