so this is how watch might look for minisign packages[0]:

--------
version=4
# example URIs:
# https://ziglang.org/download/0.13.0/zig-0.13.0.tar.xz
# https://ziglang.org/download/0.13.0/zig-0.13.0.tar.xz.minisig
opts="sigtype=minisign, \
      pgpsigurlmangle=s/$/.minisig/, \
      dversionmangle=s/\+dfsg(\.?\d+)?$//, \
      repacksuffix=+dfsg" \
      https://ziglang.org/download/ .*/zig-([0-9\.]*)\.tar\.xz \
      debian uupdate
--------

no one needs change their packages except people who have
pgpmode=none despite the presence of pgpsigurlmangle (which will
become an error if i execute my plan as proposed).
