N:   The version of this package contains dfsg, ds, or debian, which normally
N:   indicates that the upstream source has been repackaged to comply with the
N:   Debian Free Software Guidelines (or similar reason), but there is no
N:   version mangling in the debian/watch file. Since the dfsg string is not
N:   part of the upstream version, the debian/watch file should use the
N:   dversionmangle option to remove the dfsg before version number comparison.
