I see.   So the fix is to move uscan_msg into if...elsif...else ...
around line 3328 as.

        Case      : use           : effect
upstream >  debian: uscan_msg     : output always
upstream == debian: uscan_verbose : no output unless verbose
upstream <  debian: uscan_verbose : no output unless verbose

I need to check the old uscan but the last case is broken watch file.

I wonder if it is best to be quiet for "upstream <  debian" case.

Any thought?
