Package: dh-make-elpa
Version: 0.6.0
Severity: wishlist
Tags: upstream

Dear Sean,

currently if there's no upstream branch in a repository, then dh-make-elpa do
not create debian/watch file. It would be nice to have at least a skeletion
debian/watch file. The reason for that is that non-existence of debian/watch is
not critical to build a package and even integrate it into the archive, so
sometimes it is quite easy to overlook that debian/watch is needed to create.
For example, I forgot about it already three times! :-D

Cheers!
Lev
