Use Debian published upstream listings #243

Debian packages indicate their upstreams in the watch file. It would probably be good to incorporate this information rather than duplicating the effort.

anitya is distro agnostic and in fact there are already a few projects there linked to Debian on it: https://release-monitoring.org/distro/Debian/

@pypingou, I think @frozencemetery is suggesting that we could script something to pull in all of the pre-existing Debian watch files and use them to auto-populate anitya (which could be cool).

@ralphbean agreed :)
