Hi!

The uscan used by the upstream watch service on qa.debian.org seems to
be out-dated, as it does not understand the Dist field when using the
GitHub Template, as seen for example with:

  https://qa.debian.org/cgi-bin/watch?pkg=3Dgolang-github-andybalholm-brotli

With error:

  Devscripts::Uscan::Templates::Github failed: Missing owner at /srv/udd.de=
bian.org/udd/vendor/devscripts/lib/Devscripts/Uscan/Templates/Github.pm lin=
e 10.

=46rom reading previous instances of similar problems, I assume this
might be missing installing the latest devscripts backport on that
host? As the backport seems to already be available (so no need to
prepare that first :):

Thanks,
