Package: lintian Version: 2.128.1 Severity: normal debian-watch-not-mangling-version is erroneously triggered for comments on version 5 watch files.
For example, the following watch file triggers this lintian tag: Version: 5 # Upstream provides a PGP signature named libusb1-@[email protected], # which matches libusb1-@[email protected]. These files are not displayed on # the typical URL unless JavaScript is enabled, but they are available using the # API URL.

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.
