+Tag: changelog-file-missing-explicit-entry
+Severity: warning
+Check: debian/changelog
+Explanation: The latest changelog file for this package specifies a version in
+ the form of 1.2-3+deb8u1, 1.2-3+nmu4 (or similar) but this does not
+ follow from a corresponding 1.2-3 changelog stanza.
+ .
+ This suggests that changes were merged into a single entry. This is
+ suboptimal as it makes it more difficult for users to determine which
+ upload fixed a particular bug.
+See-Also: developer-reference 5.8.5.4, developer-reference 5.11.2, developer-reference 5.14.3, Bug#916877
