+Tag: odd-historical-debian-changelog-version
+Severity: warning
+Check: debian/changelog
+Explanation: The version string in a historical changelog entry was not parsed
+ correctly. Usually, that means it does not conform to policy.
+ .
+ It can also happen when a package changes from native to non-native
+ (or the other way around). Historical entries are then in a nonconforming
+ format.
+ .
+ As a side note, Lintian cannot tell whether a package changed from
+ naive to non-native, or the other way around. It can only say whether
+ the historical changelog entries comply with the current nativeness of a
+ package.
