uscan apparently still needs some changes to fully support the sourceforge
redirector. 

I tried this watch line:

http://qa.debian.org/watch/sf.php?project=aa-project aalib-(.*).tar.gz

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~package/aalib>uscan --verbose

uscan warning: In directory ., downloading

The problem being that to download the file, uscan goes back to the
original url, and uses its dirname as the directory to download from, which
strips out the handy cgi script.

If Filippo's patch is inetgrated into the redirector then things might
work, using a watch file like this one:

http://qa.debian.org/watch/sf.php/aa-project/ aalib-(.*).tar.gz
