# `debian-watch-mangles-debian-version-improperly`

The version of this package contains `dfsg`, `ds`, or `debian`, but a misleading upstream version mangling occurs in the `debian/watch` file. Since the `dfsg` string is not part of the upstream version and its addition is Debian-specific, the `debian/watch` file should use the dversionmangle option to remove, instead of adding in uversionmangle, the `dfsg` before comparing version numbers.

Severity: | `info`
Experimental: | `false`
Renamed from: | `debian-watch-file-should-dversionmangle-not-uversionmangle`
