debian/watch is an obsolete version 1 watch file;
please upgrade to a higher version
(see uscan(1) for details).
there appears to be a version 2 format line in
the version 1 watch file debian/watch;
Have you forgotten a 'version=2' line at the start, perhaps?
Skipping the line: Version: 5

Using very old style of filename pattern in debian/watch
(this might lead to incorrect results):
Filename pattern missing version delimiters ()
in debian/watch, skipping:
