Package: devscripts Version: 2.25.22 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
I have been testing debian-watch version 5 and found a problem related to custom scripts usage. I see no mention of custom scripts in debian-watch version 5 manpage. I have browsed devscripts code and looking at /usr/share/perl5/Devscripts/Uscan/WatchSource.pm seems that internal name for custom scripts is "updatescript", so I tried Update-Script: debian/repack-local in debian/watch version 5 and seems to work as I expected (updatescript should have also worked). If no changes are expected, this should be documented in debian-watch version 5 manpage as it was in debian-watch version 4. Regarding debian-watch-4.pod it indeed mentions custom scripts, although a subsection in the orginal uscan manual was not included in debian-watch-4.pod (but stays in uscan man page). It is not very important, although I would consider adding a line of it with something like attached patch. Thanks for the work in devscripts and in particular for debian-watch version 5. Regards, -- Agustin
