To be fair, I don't think omitting the hyphen and ignoring the case is a good
design. I'd
have enforced "Pgp-Mode" as the only acceptable option, if this was my decision.
But now that this is done, and people have started to add it in d/watch, it is,
maybe, a
bit too late. Lintian should not come in the way of my disagreement or my
personal opinion
of what should or should not be acceptable in d/watch.

Right. I've made a MR here
https://salsa.debian.org/lintian/lintian/-/merge_requests/676
I'll be making a release later today -- lintian FTBFS due to new dpkg upload so
that needs to
be addressed rather urgently. If you could take a look and give me a go-ahead,
I will be happy
to merge and upload this in this release itself.
