If there were no watch file at all that is OK, but I suppose if there were a non-functionaly watch file, that is a problem, hence my suggestion of making it a warning. However, I would respect the choices you and the lintian maintainers make in this regard :) Thank you for working on this. Cheers, Giridhar -- Y Giridhar Appaji Nag | http://www.appaji.net/
