$ cat /tmp/mftrace.watch
version=3
http://www.cs.uu.nl/~hanwen/mftrace/mftrace-(.*)\.tar\.gz
$ uscan --dehs --watchfile /tmp/mftrace.watch --package mftrace \
  --upstream-version 1.1.4
<dehs>
<package>mftrace</package>
<debian_uversion>1.1.4</debian_uversion>

And from the changelog:

devscripts (2.8.12) UNRELEASED; urgency=low

  * [...]
  * uscan: watch files are now version=3 (should have done this with
    2.8.11, oops)
  * uscan: now support DEHS-style output and --watchfile etc options
  * uscan: handle funny upstream version numbers using multiple groups
    (closes: #282255) and version-number mangling, both for upstream
    version numbers (closes: #266095) and Debian version numbers (closes:
    #261385)

Question: would you like me to arrange that this list receives copies
of the SVN commit messages whenever uscan.pl or uscan.1 is modified?

I don't have that much time to work on uscan myself in general at the
moment - I had an unexpected day earlier this week in bed.  But good
quality patches are appreciated.
