IIRC this has been discussed before, I personally would not add a lintian warning for missing watch file. Top reasons for this I've heard are: "many maintainers are also upstream" and "many maintainers closely follow upstream mailing lists" Surely such warning will improve the number of watch files but IMO will generate a lot of fuss with very little gain. filippo -- Filippo Giunchedi PGP key: 0x6B79D401 random quote follows: Endian little hate we -- Anonymous (?)
