that's something I didn't now until now, cool. :)

kopano-webapp-plugin-files is also only available on a stash.kopano.io
on a Bitbucket based Git VCS that makes it hard to track updated version
by uscan.

I simply took your watch file and changed the link to the git tree and
got some information about available versions. But I need to mangle the
Debian version, otherwise it isn't helpful.

I'm still not familiar enough with Perl regular expression so I'm
struggling with the needed line for 'dversionmangle=$foo'

For kopano-webapp I use 'dversionmangle=s/\+dfsg(\.?\d+)?$//" \' which
works fine there but not for kopano-webapp-plugins-files. The suffix to
remove is both for the two packages (dfsg*$). Do you have time to figure
how the correct syntax would be?

BTW: Current version for the watch file is 4, you might want to change
this in preparation for further versions.
