   * Stop generating binary dependency on 'emacsen-common'.
     dh-elpa adds to ${misc:Depends}.
+  * When the 'upstream' remote is GitHub, generate a watch file using
+    the GitHub releases page, rather than using mode=git.
+    This is less taxing on the QA servers checking for new upstream
+    releases (see uscan(1)).
