Subject: lintian: Add debian-watch-uses-insecure-uri tag (HTTP usage instead of HTTPS)
Package: lintian
Severity: wishlist
Dear Maintainer,
Add debian-watch-uses-insecure-uri tag (HTTP usage instead of HTTPS)
/debian/watch file can point to HTTP urls while HTTPS available, for example:
(from: https://sources.debian.net/src/texinfo/6.3.0.dfsg.1-1/debian/watch/?hl=3#L3)
opts=dversionmangle=s/\.dfsg\.\d+$// http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/texinfo/texinfo-(.*)\.tar\.gz
while https://ftp.gnu.org/ is available.
