debian/watch: Look at tags instead of releases

[df7cb]

The old URL doesn't work with uscan(1) anymore.

Hi Christoph,

If I understand correctly, the new url will produce a package for any new tags pushed in this repo?

[df7cb]

Almost, but not quite. The tag still needs to start with v, and the version number in debian/changelog needs to point at that tag. This change just fixes the ability to see the tags as versions. (Github changed the layout of the /releases pages so uscan didn't see anything at all anymore.)

With the fix:
