Now this stray tag shows up in uscan:

uscan: Newest version of golang-github-cheggaaa-pb on remote site is 1.0, local version is 0.0~git20160304.0.a75ad33
uscan:    => Newer package available from
      https://github.com/cheggaaa/pb/archive/go1.0.tar.gz

Could you revert Debian commit 5699dec to restore the empty watch file
and upload a second version? Otherwise the above tag would permanently
show on tracker.debian.org, despite the package being up to date.
