The upstream author explicitly discourages packaging the pre-release 1.9.* versions as he expects "major changes and incompatibilities within the 1.9.* cycle. The 2.0.0 will be stable again and ready for packaging.” [1]

Unfortunately uscan will still show it as a new upstream version because there is currently no way to exclude pre-release versions from the GitHub URL listed in the watchfile (is there? I couldn’t find one).

Hmmm, upstream could use some "~pre" string in the version number ...

I've excluded 1.9* from the watch regexp to not stumble again about
this issue and closed the bug.

Kind regards
