I: sqlite3-pcre2 source: debian-watch-file-is-missing
N: 
N:   This source package is not Debian-native but it does not have a
N:   debian/watch file. This file is used for automatic detection of new
N:   upstream versions by the Debian External Health Status project and other
N:   project infrastructure. If this package is maintained upstream, please
N:   consider adding a debian/watch file to detect new releases.
N:   
N:   If the package is not maintained upstream or if upstream uses a
N:   distribution mechanism that cannot be meaningfully monitored by uscan and
N:   the Debian External Health Status project, please consider adding a
N:   debian/watch file containing only comments documenting the situation.
N: 
N:   Please refer to Upstream source location: debian/watch (Section 4.11) in
N:   the Debian Policy Manual and the uscan(1) manual page for details.

I: sqlite3-pcre2: hardening-no-bindnow [usr/lib/sqlite3/pcre2.so]
N: 
N:   This package provides an ELF binary that lacks the "bindnow" linker flag.
N:   
N:   This is needed (together with "relro") to make the "Global Offset Table"
N:   (GOT) fully read-only. The bindnow feature trades startup time for
N:   improved security. Please consider enabling this feature or consider
N:   overriding the tag (possibly with a comment about why).
N:   
N:   If you use dpkg-buildflags, you may have to add hardening=+bindnow or
N:   hardening=+all to DEB_BUILD_MAINT_OPTIONS.
N:   
N:   The relevant compiler flags are set in LDFLAGS.
N: 
N:   Please refer to https://wiki.debian.org/Hardening for details.

I: sqlite3-pcre2 source: patch-not-forwarded-upstream [debian/patches/add-debug-instructions]
N: 
N:   According to the DEP-3 headers, this patch has not been forwarded
N:   upstream.
N:   
N:   Please forward the patch and try to have it included in upstream's version
N:   control system. If the patch is not suitable for that, please mention
N:   not-needed in the Forwarded field of the patch header.
N:   
N:   If the patch was actually taken from upstream, please prefix the Origin
N:   field information with upstream or backport, as documented in the DEP-3.
N:   For example:
N:   
N:       Origin: upstream, https://github.com/zim-desktop-wiki/zim-desktop-wiki/commit/d33286c75b623cfb249c627b0c348be62e6377c9.patch
N: 
N:   Please refer to social contract item 2, Coordination with upstream
N:   developers (Section 3.1.4) in the Debian Developer's Reference, Changes to
N:   the upstream sources (Section 4.3) in the Debian Policy Manual,
N:   Bug#755153, and https://dep-team.pages.debian.net/deps/dep3/ for details.
