# `debian-watch-file-is-missing`

This source package is not Debian-native but it does not have a `debian/watch` 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 `debian/watch` 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 format 5 `debian/watch` file containing an `Untrackable` field documenting the situation.

Severity: | `info`
Experimental: | `false`
