Bug#542713: Already implemented; added classification tag instead



Hi,

For statistics purposes, a classification tag was added instead:

    https://salsa.debian.org/lintian/lintian/commit/97120d0ce3cb30681238dd034f2c3053902b1f8b

> Please add check for debian/watch to (warn?) that there is new version

Lintian already complains if the version is unknown or missing.

    https://salsa.debian.org/lintian/lintian/blob/master/checks/debian/watch.pm#L100-104
    https://salsa.debian.org/lintian/lintian/blob/master/checks/debian/watch.pm#L106-107

> And I don't see much point regarding warning about version 2 watch files as

While version 2 is unpopular, it has not been formally declared
obsolete. Version 1 was not actually specified, so that case falls
under 'missing'. There are currently no outdated versions.

Kind regards,
Felix
