Bug#753619: /usr/bin/uscan: Re: devscripts: [uscan, mk-origtargz] filenamemangle is not supported upon repacks

[Nikolaus Rath]

Package: devscripts
Version: 2.14.5
Followup-For: Bug #753619

After reading this bug, I changed my watch file from

opts=pgpsigurlmangle=s/$/.asc/,dversionmangle=s/\+dfsg\d?$// \
  https://bitbucket.org/nikratio/s3ql/downloads \
  .*/s3ql-(\d\S*)\.tar\.bz2 \
  debian

to

opts=\
pgpsigurlmangle=s/$/.asc/,\
uversionmangle=s/$/+dfsg/ \
  https://bitbucket.org/nikratio/s3ql/downloads \
  .*/s3ql-(\d\S*)\.tar\.bz2 \
  debian

...but now I'm getting a lintian warning:

I: s3ql source: debian-watch-file-should-dversionmangle-not-uversionmangle line 8

....and the detailed explanation at
http://lintian.debian.org/tags/debian-watch-file-should-dversionmangle-not-uversionmangle.html
seems to say that the original way was correct.


Who's wrong? Lintian or this bug?
