Bug#818727: devscripts: [uscan] reports wrong version

[Andreas Tille]

Package: devscripts
Severity: normal

Hi,

uscan reports a new version for freecontact[1] version 1.1, but the
upstream ftp site has only version 1.0.21 while there is a
python-freecontact-1.1.tar.gz which seems to make uscan fail.  The
d/watch file worked before.  This is the uscan log:
