+Tag: debian-watch-file-is-missing
+Severity: info
+Check: debian/watch
+See-Also: debian-policy 4.11, uscan(1)
+Explanation: This source package is not Debian-native but it does not have a
+ <code>debian/watch</code> 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 <code>debian/watch</code> 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
+ <code>debian/watch</code> file containing only comments documenting the
+ situation.
