commit 4545d259612e1650cd40efc5e0ce65512e319388
Author: Boyuan Yang <byang@debian.org>

    Tighten debian/watch to skip mistyped upstream tag v0.9991
    
    Upstream tagged v0.9991 by mistake (2026-08-28); dpkg sorts 0.9991 above
    0.10.0, so uscan reported it as the newest version. Match only
    three-component version tags.
