Hmm, I see that you have not uploaded these changes to the Salsa
repository; it seems to me that you are in the habit of making changes
somewhere else, then importing them in a single commit once the package
has been uploaded. I think it might be a bit more useful for
collaboration to have your work in the Salsa repository, too.
Not a blocker, just something that caught my eye.

The test definition in the debian/tests/control file has a "Depends:"
line listing both "@" and "jag-data". It is my understanding that "@"
stands for "all the binary packages built in this run", so "jag-data" is
not needed there.

The test itself seems a bit weird to me, too. It looks like jag is
a graphical application; I have not tried running the test, but I wonder
if it might be better to explicitly specify something like a fake X
server; right now I can't quite recall the name, but I'm pretty sure
that I've seen some kind of "no real video output, but all the Xlib
calls and events" server used for testing; it might have been Xvfb.

On a related note, I see that in version 0.3.6-1 you removed the "same
as source:Version" constraint in the jag dependency on jag-data; would
it not be nice to at least have a ">= ${source:Version}" one so that if
somebody runs "apt install jag", it pulls in a usable version of
jag-data automatically?

Maybe for a future upload, but since you're using version 4 of the watch
file format, have you considered using the @PACKAGE@, @ANY_VERSION@, etc
variables that uscan provides now? Of course, it's up to the maintainer
(you) whether that's more readable, but personally to me, it is.

G'luck,
Peter
