Bug#342611: debian-policy: please support Watch file as recommendation
Package: debian-policy
Severity: wishlist
There could be put Watch file in packages as recommendation to help the dehs[1] statistic system.
Actually we have total source packages without watch file: 6080 on total source packages: 8945. Of this 6080 we have
also 978 automatically generated watch file and tested with Uscan (see devscripts package in debian) that could by reviewed
by maintainer and integrated in their own packages. I'm trying with this info also to collect upstream changelog (when possible)
that are also available in dehs site[1].
