Hi,

Upstream did not release the latest versions in sourceforge for some
reason, although the CVS repository there seems to be somewhat active.

I added the patch to the new debian revision at git.debian.org, but
also disabled the watch file for now, to prevent false alarms. Also,
the location of the upstream sources is now correct in the copyright
file.
