Dear procps maintainer,

d/watch seems to be broken at the moment:

```
$ origtargz -d
Trying uscan --download --download-current-version ...
Newest version of procps on remote site is 4.0.6, specified download
version is 4.0.6
uscan error: Unknown compression used in ../procps-4.0.6.tar.gz
Could not find any location for procps_4.0.6.orig.tar.*
$ file ../procps-4.0.6.tar.gz
../procps-4.0.6.tar.gz: HTML document, Unicode text, UTF-8 text, with
very long lines (12581)
```

The following MR contains a fix to this issue:

d/watch: Update to version 5

The current version of d/watch fails to download the right file:

```
$ origtargz -d
Trying uscan --download --download-current-version ...
Newest version of procps on remote site is 4.0.6, specified download version is 4.0.6
uscan error: Unknown compression used in ../procps-4.0.6.tar.gz
Could not find any location for procps_4.0.6.orig.tar.*
```
