Hi Ben, I just had a quick look at your package because I didn't even know makemkv came in a version that could be considered "oss" :) I found your debian/watch file a bit peculiar, version=4 opts="" \ https://www.makemkv.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=224

Hello again, I've fixed some problems. It dawned on me last night that maybe a simple use of dh_install(1)'s d/*.install file may be sufficient when coupled with a stub d/rules. Compat level 13 and later support variable substitution, which may allow the architecture-specific path to be used
