Dear tiff maintainer,

The current d/watch doesn't make it possible to look for new upstream
releases, as it is visible in https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/tiff, or in
https://udd.debian.org/dmd/?packages=tiff&format=html#todo.

The changes below fix the issue:

diff --git a/debian/watch b/debian/watch

BTW, the current latest upstream version is 4.7.0:
