Upstream provides a package/debian/watch file, that we want to ignore.
Please pass the --watchfile=debian/watch option to uscan.

The upstream tarballs on their FTP server are named
AdaCurses-YYYYMMDD.tgz. Debian recommends against date-based versions,
and the build system provide sensible MAJOR.MINOR versions in NEWS.
The best solution I have found so far is to strip MAJOR.MINOR from the
version in debian/changelog. This is not perfect, but
* New tarballs are always reported, because the 'date' part changes.
* Once the archive is downloaded, the .orig symlink is never correct,
  in the hope that the user will find this documentation.

If you need a weekly snapshot instead of a released version, please
replace last '/AdaCurses/AdaCurses' with
'/Adacurses/current/AdaCurses' in the URL pattern in debian/watch
before running
# uscan --watchfile=debian/watch
