Package: lintian Version: 1.23.46 Severity: wishlist It would be nice if lintian warned about v1 watch files which are considered obsolete. The following regex could be used to detect: a) obsolete watch files b) watch files of an unknown version:
m/^version\s*=\s*(\d+)(\s|$)/ The value in $1 can, atm, be either 2 or 3; if failed to match that regex it is very likely it is a v1 watch file, to make sure it is all that needs to be done is strip comments (s/^#.*//g) and then check if there's any line with real content ([a-zA-Z.\-/0-9] ...) left.
