Yes, logging into a sid chroot on trixie systems is too much effort to quickly
test the watch file version.
If you want people to use version 5, make it available in trixie via backports.
as a regular workflow: sure.
In our regular workflows we already get peer-pressured into using version 5 by
lintian.
Which we need to override to keep our packages lintian clean as long as version
5 is not supported by devscripts on trixie systems.
however, I take the original suggestion as: could you please test our latest and greatest
release of "uscan", to see whether the problem has been fixed already?
which I think is a perfectly normal approach in software development.
once it is established that version 5 "does the right thing", there's one more
incentive to upload it to backports.
That doesn't help users on trixie which can't have a working watch file right
now.
Kind Regards,
