Thanks, that is interesting - that extends the workaround to be usable
also system-wide for a custom-configured host.

Is it possible to declare something like that in the watch file instead?
What I want is to be able to describe how to get from upstream name to
Debian name without the need for an intermediary unsafe filename, and
it seems sensible that such information should be possible to declare
specific to the package, without involving host tuning.
