Thanks for that. I committed the changes in debian/watch to reflect this
new upstream location. The uscan command is working again now. However,
the upstream "tarball" indicated in the new website has a strange name
("epstk24.zip.odt"), even though it is a valid ZIP file. If you have the
opportunity, please ask the upstream author to fix this.
