W no-nmu-in-changelog 

When you NMU a package, that fact should be mentioned on the first line in
the changelog entry. Use the words "NMU" or "Non-maintainer upload" (case
insensitive).

Maybe you didn't intend this upload to be a NMU, in that case, please
double-check that the most recent entry in the changelog is byte-for-byte
identical to the maintainer or one of the uploaders. If this is a local
package (not intended for Debian), you can suppress this warning by
putting "local" in the version number or "local package" on the first line
of the changelog entry.

Please refer to Using the DELAYED/ queue (Section 5.11.3) in the Debian
Developer's Reference for details.

W runtime-test-file-uses-supported-python-versions-without-test-depends 

The specified file appears to use py3versions -s to determine the
"supported" Python versions without specifying python3-all (or equivalent)
as a test prerequisite.

With only the default version of Python installed, the autopkgtests may
pass but the package subsequently fails at runtime when another,
non-default, Python version is present.

Please add python3-all as a test prerequisite via Depends in
debian/tests/control.

Visibility: warning
Show-Always: no
Check: testsuite
Renamed from:
runtime-test-file-uses-supported-python-versions-without-python-all-build-depends

W source-nmu-has-incorrect-version-number 

A source NMU should have a Debian revision of "-x.x" (or "+nmuX" for a
native package). This is to prevent stealing version numbers from the
maintainer.

Maybe you didn't intend this upload to be a NMU, in that case, please
double-check that the most recent entry in the changelog is byte-for-byte
identical to the maintainer or one of the uploaders. If this is a local
package (not intended for Debian), you can suppress this warning by
putting "local" in the version number or "local package" on the first line
of the changelog entry.

Please refer to NMUs and debian/changelog (Section 5.11.2) in the Debian
Developer's Reference for details.

P cute-field 

The named field uses a free-style form of capitalization, which is
permitted by policy. The alternative offered is probably a more common
variant in the archive.

Manual for details.

X debian-watch-does-not-check-openpgp-signature 

This watch file does not specify a means to verify the upstream tarball
using a cryptographic signature.

If upstream distributions provides such signatures, please use the
pgpsigurlmangle options in this watch file's opts= to generate the URL of
an upstream OpenPGP signature. This signature is automatically downloaded
and verified against a keyring stored in debian/upstream/signing-key.asc

Of course, not all upstreams provide such signatures but you could request
them as a way of verifying that no third party has modified the code after
its release (projects such as phpmyadmin, unrealircd, and proftpd have
suffered from this kind of attack).

Please refer to the uscan(1) manual page for details.

This tag is experimental.

X prefer-uscan-symlink 

Please consider setting USCAN_SYMLINK=rename in your ~/.devscripts
configuration file instead of using the option filenamemangle in
debian/watch.

Please check with your team before making changes to sources you maintain
together. There are circumstances when the filenamemangle option is
better.

Please refer to the uscan(1) manual page for details.

overridden debhelper-but-no-misc-depends 

We use X-DH-Compat: 14

overridden debhelper-compat-file-is-missing 

The package build-depends on debhelper but does not ship a compat file.
Packages not using an experimental or beta compatibility level may
alternatively Build-Depend on the debhelper-compat virtual package, For
example:

Build-Depends: debhelper-compat (= 13)

Please refer to the debhelper documentation on how to create the compat
file and the differences between each compat level.

Please refer to
https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-changes/2012/01/msg01335.html and
the debhelper(7) manual page for details.

overridden package-uses-deprecated-debhelper-compat-version 

The debhelper compatibility version used by this package is marked as
deprecated by the debhelper developer. You should really consider using a
newer compatibility version.

The compatibility version can be set by specifying debhelper-compat (= 12)
in your package's Build-Depends, by the legacy debian/compat file or even
by setting and exporting DH_COMPAT in debian/rules. If it is not set in
either place, debhelper defaults to the deprecated compatibility version
1.

Please refer to the debhelper(7) manual page for details.
