Hi Yadd, Can you provide some documentation for this please? Also, there is #1118077 open against lintian to avoid `debian-watch-file-is-missing` when d/u/metadata is present and uscan can use the same. I have a merge request for this. Can you please review this? <https://salsa.debian.org/lintian/lintian/-/merge_requests/781> Best, Nilesh
