I like dehs. But it don't work, if a package don't have a watch file.
Because of this, I like to add/fix watch files to _all_ packages. We can
make some packages per script, but some packages must fixed with a hand
written watch file.
I don't like to "mass bug filling" and I don't like to wait for all this
new uploads.
one solution:
- watch ovverride:
dehs use the debian/watch from the package source. If the package
don't have a debian/watch, it use its own watch for this
package (if its has a own).
If a debian/watch from the package source don't work, it use its
own watch.
- We ask some debian user to submit the debian/watch for there
packages. With this we can get a watch for any debian package in
some months.
But we need to manage this work.
We need some system, that
1.) send a user on request the copyright file of a package with out
a working watchfile
2.) get a watch file some this users
3.) and test it and put this watch file in the dehs ovverride
