Should alpha|beta|rc releases be watched by uscan?

[Gunnar Hjalmarsson <gunnarhj@debian.org>]

Hi!

There seems to be a generic watch file for multiple GNOME projects 
(attached). That file does not make uscan see alpha|beta|rc releases.

Would it be desirable to watch also such releases?

Changing this:

	[\d.]+/@PACKAGE@-([\d.]+)@ARCHIVE_EXT@

to:

	[\d.]+/@PACKAGE@-(\d+\.?(?:alpha|beta|rc)?[\d.]*)@ARCHIVE_EXT@

would make uscan see everything. Or possibly a compromise would be 
better. Only rc? Or rc and beta?
