version in VCS is newer than in repository, is it time to upload? normal
vcswatch reports that this package seems to have a new changelog entry (version 2.26.8, distribution UNRELEASED) and new commits in its VCS. You should consider whether it's time to make an upload.

Here are the relevant commit messages:
commit 5f4e1aec1b9f925af3e0dec015258e303c14c28e
Author: Agustin Martin Domingo <agmartin@debian.org>
Date:   Wed Apr 8 23:59:19 2026 +0200

    Uscan/WatchSource.pm: Deal with "0" package version.
    
    Packages may have version "0" in some corner cases. This
    makes if($version) test result "false" in that case,
    causing package not downloaded even if expliticly told
    to do so. Use "defined" to care of these corner cases.
    
    Closes: #1059734
