Dear Maintainer,

That is easy to reproduce in any packaging environment:

$ uscan
Newest version of audacious on remote site is 4.4, local version is 4.3.1
 => Newer package available from:
        => https://distfiles.audacious-media-player.org/audacious-4.4.tar.bz2
Successfully symlinked ../audacious-4.4.tar.bz2 to
../audacious_4.4.orig.tar.bz2.
$ mv debian/changelog debian/changelog.bak
$ uscan
uscan warn: Problems reading debian/changelog in ., skipping
uscan warn: No watch file found

A possible cascade with the first.
It is also sometimes not clear if warn is an error.

Regards,
Patrice
