Bug#456629: lintian: detect missing version mangling in debian/watch for dfsg-ed packages
Package: lintian
Version: 1.23.36
Severity: wishlist
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
In case of packages that have been modified to comply with DFSG, it is
necessary that either opts=uversionmangle or opts=dversionmangle is used
in the debian/watch file if the file exists. Failing which, uscan
reports that the current version itself is not available on the site.
It would be useful to have a check that warns about this (it could even
be an error because the watch file is useless without the version
mangling option).
