Well, it is fine so far - if there is no upstream versioning you have no
chance to write a proper watch file. Functionality-wise the package
would be ready for upload but we want to do some educational cosmetical
changes - so I would suggest the following:
1. Delete the debian/watch file (because it is useless)
2. Create debian/lintian-overrides to override the lintian warning
and add a short comment refering to an explanation in README.source.
3. Write debian/README.source file documenting why there is no watch
file and what you tried to contact the author (for instance insert
a copy of your mail - at this point you see the advantage to for
instance CC the mailing list in such contacting mails which I always
do: you could easily link to the list archive)
If this is done I would upload the package (and you might like to
squeeze your mind for another package after having finished the MoM task
in the half of the time ;-) ).
Thanks for your work on this
Andreas.
