# `debian-watch-not-mangling-version`

The version of this package contains `dfsg`, `ds`, or `debian`, which normally indicates that the upstream source has been repackaged to comply with the Debian Free Software Guidelines (or similar reason), but there is no version mangling in the `debian/watch` file. Since the `dfsg` string is not part of the upstream version, the `debian/watch` file should use the dversionmangle option to remove the `dfsg` before version number comparison.

Severity: | `warning`
Experimental: | `false`
Renamed from: | `debian-watch-file-should-mangle-version`
