Whats your rationale for proposing to include useless empty files within of a package? Given that a) a watch file is still optional b) the lintian message is only of type 'info' c) We don't hide problems according to our social contract d) Comments about *why* a watch file is missing is not required, due to a) I'd say the best thing is to not include a watch file, to not add a lintian override (its useless anyway) and fix the problem with upstream first and _then_ fix it in the package.
