+Tag: new-package-uses-date-based-version-number
+Severity: warning
+Check: debian/changelog
+Explanation: This package appears to be the first packaging of a new upstream
+ software package (there is only one changelog entry and the Debian
+ revision is 1) and uses a date-based versioning scheme such as
+ YYYYMMDD-1.
+ .
+ Packages using date-based version numbering should use a "0~" prefix
+ (eg. 0~20201612-1 or similar) to avoid having to introduce an epoch if
+ upstream starts tagging releases in a more conventional manner.
