Package: devscripts Version: 2.10.69 Severity: minor In many places in the devscripts programs, the regular expressions used and recommended for ‘watch’ files have a group of ‘(.*)’ for specifying the version string.
However, that regex also matches the empty string, since it allows zero characters at that position. This is not a sensible version string. This should instead be uniformly changed to ‘(.+)’ so that the version part will only match if it contains at least one character. -- \ “How many people here have telekenetic powers?
