Bug#1118077: lintian: debian-watch-file-is-missing produced although uscan uses d/upstream/metadata
Package: lintian
Version: 2.126.0
lintian will produce a `debian-watch-file-is-missing` I-level warning
when `debian/watch` is missing. Newer version of uscan do not need a
`debian/watch` file if `d/upstream/metadata` is present and contains all
the necessary fields (for example `Archive: GitHub` + `Repository:
https://github.com/group/project.git`).
Lintian should not produce a `debian-watch-file-is-missing` if
d/upstream/metadata is present and contains all needed fields.
Regards,
