+Tag: version-refers-to-distribution
+Severity: warning
+Check: debian/changelog
+Explanation: The Debian portion of the package version contains a reference to a
+ particular Debian release or distribution. This should only be done for
+ uploads targeted at a particular release, not at unstable or
+ experimental, and should refer to the release by version number or code
+ name.
+ .
+ Using "testing" or "stable" in a package version targeted at the current
+ testing or stable release is less informative than using the code name or
+ version number and may cause annoying version sequencing issues if the
+ package doesn't change before the next release cycle starts.
