# `debian-watch-file-specifies-wrong-upstream-version`

The watch file specifies an upstream version which exactly matches the version of a `debian/changelog` entry, this is not a native package, and no version mangling is being done. The version field in a watch file should specify the expected upstream version, not the version of the Debian package. Any epochs and Debian revisions should be removed first or mangled away.

Severity: | `warning`
Experimental: | `false`
