Thanks! I've merged your branch with some additional changes:
* reformatted the watch files in the examples to use a format that debian/watch can preserve * changed the logic to follow your last suggestion Ideally the other ways of formatting debian/watch would be handled too, but that's something that is a work in progress and needs to be fixed in debmutate.watch.
