Lintian tag: debian-watch-file-is-missing

Type: information

Description (from lintian-explain-tags)

This source package is not Debian-native but it does not have a
debian/watch file. This file is used for automatic detection of new
upstream versions by the Debian External Health Status project and other
project infrastructure. If this package is maintained upstream, please
consider adding a debian/watch file to detect new releases.

If the package is not maintained upstream or if upstream uses a
distribution mechanism that cannot be meaningfully monitored by uscan and
the Debian External Health Status project, please consider adding a
debian/watch file containing only comments documenting the situation.

Please refer to Upstream source location: debian/watch (Section 4.11) in
the Debian Policy Manual and the uscan(1) manual page for details.
