Hi,

Seems that current debian/watch only supports cups-filters 1.x. I am
attaching a patch to change debian/watch to version 5 and use uscan github
template. It seems to work well also with cups-filters 2.x.

Regards,

Subject: [PATCH] debian/watch: Migrate to watch version 5 with templates.

Old watch file could only find cups-filters 1.x versions.

This version should also find cups-filters 2.x versions.
