Hi Joachim, Thanks a lot for your message.
I am thinking to improve my watch files. I never used d/watch to download new versions... I used to check these versions only. This is the cause of the my bad watches. I am using it to download since december. The sepwatch is a simple mechanism to suggest d/watches and help to show new upstream versions when the d/watch is broken. The impact is minimum, because the sepwatch file is removed from SVN when a new package with a working d/watch is uploaded. The list of broken d/watches can be viewed at http://qa.debian.org/watch/uscan-errors.txt. We work over this list. After a upload to sepwatch, the package name is removed from the list. And after the upload the final package, the sepwatch will be automatically removed from the SVN. The new d/watch should just work. But you can take advantage of my wrong sepwatches to know about new upstream versions. Sorry for inconvenients and thanks for your attention.
