Had a quick look at some of these.
Is a blank line needed after the first line with "Version: 5" in it?


Yes, the version has to live in its own paragraph. See the manpage 
debian-watch, “Format of the Watch file, version 5”.

It would be nice if uscan would recognize both version= and Version:. It currently gets confused and falls back to more ancient versions, giving misleading error messages, when one accidentally starts a v5 file with "version=5", which is an easy mistake when editing.

Greetings
Marc
