   Hi Yadd,   
      
   Have you seen #1114473 (and duplicate #1127829)? Seems watch file v5   
   does not properly disregard comments lines starting with a #.   
   According to the man page it should ignore them:   
      
   https://manpages.debian.org/unstable/devscripts/debian-watch.5.en.html   
   > A line started by # (hash) is a comment line and dropped.   
      
   I also saw this in src:mariadb:   
      
   dpkg -l devscripts   
   ii  devscripts     2.26.5   
      
   uscan   
   uscan warn: The following paragraph isn't well formatted, skipping it:   
   << ==EOF==   
   # String "-11.8." needs to be in path as MariaDB releases several series in   
   # parallel (e.g 11.4, 10.11, 10.4, 10.3 etc) and uscan should check for updates   
   # only in the 11.8-series.   
   #   
   # Specifically use archive.mariadb.org because it supports https and the main   
   # page has a file listing suitable for scanning new releases.   
   # The archive.mariadb.org service is under MariaDB Foundation control and is   
   the   
   # official source for new releases.   
   ==EOF==
