Bug#1143107: RFS: scenefx/0.5-1 [ITP] -- wlroots scene API with eye-candy effects

Hi Damian,

thanks for the update.

As you are now repacking, you'll need to have a +ds suffix to the
upstream version, and update the watch file accordingly.

you can copy the watch file from Nick:
https://salsa.debian.org/nickh/scenefx/-/blob/debian/latest/debian/watch?ref_type=heads

Cheers,
tobi
