Hello and thank you Otto for the feedback --

I appreciate the salsa comment per changing d/watch file _first_ and then
upgrading from upstream with uscan to validate things are ok.  I've replied on
salsa (and here).  

Per this particular instance with pat, I have re-tested in my dev-build
environment upgrading from pat 0.19.1 upstream with the old v4 and new v5
d/watch files, and found results to match.

While not excusable, this is my second time (and package) updating d/watch.
I've added to my personal packaging notes and will follow the suggested
practice going forward.

Thanks also per the Merge Request (MR) guidance when seeking packaging
feedback.  I've been collaborating on maintaining the pat package for several
years following the same workflow.  The suggestion per MR makes sense and I'll
keep that in mind for the future when I am seeking feedback.

Pardon the sloppy efforts here, I'll aim to improve.

Respectfully,
donfede
