Lintian tag: debian-watch-file-specifies-wrong-upstream-version

Type: warning

Description (from lintian-explain-tags)

The watch file specifies an upstream version which exactly matches the
version of a debian/changelog entry, this is not a native package, and no
version mangling is being done. The version field in a watch file should
specify the expected upstream version, not the version of the Debian
package. Any epochs and Debian revisions should be removed first or
mangled away.

Please refer to the uscan(1) manual page for details.
