scout

[Eugenio Cano-Manuel Mendoza]

Hello everyone,

I just pushed scout. The changes:
    -Added watch file
    -Fixed copyright format issue
    -Removed trailing whitespace from debian/control
    -Created a new description, not very happy with it so please let me
know how to improve it
    -Closed ITP bug.

What's the policy for packages whose upstream doesn't provide a change log?
Do we build one? If so, do we use git log?

Another question. When (in the lifespan of my packages) am I supposed to
use dput-ng? Am I even allowed to do this? Shouldn't I wait for review from
pkg-clojure-maintainers?

Cheers,
Eugenio
