The VCS repository is not up to date, push the missing commits. high
vcswatch reports that the current version of the package is not in its VCS.
Either you need to push your commits and/or your tags, or the information about the package's VCS are out of date. A common cause of the latter issue when using the Git VCS is not specifying the correct branch when the packaging is not in the default one (remote HEAD branch), which is usually "master" but can be modified in salsa.debian.org in the project's general settings with the "Default Branch" field). Alternatively the Vcs-Git field in debian/control can contain a "-b <branch-name>" suffix to indicate what branch is used for the Debian packaging.

Standards version of the package is outdated. high

testing migrations
  • This package will soon be part of the auto-unshield transition. You might want to ensure that your package is ready for it. You can probably find supplementary information in the debian-release archives or in the corresponding release.debian.org bug.
  • excuses:
    • Migration status for unshield (1.5.1-1 to 1.5.1-2): Waiting for test results or another package, or too young (no action required now - check later)
    • Issues preventing migration:
    • ∙ ∙ Too young, only 4 of 5 days old
    • Additional info:
    • ∙ ∙ Updating unshield will fix bugs in testing: #1098042, #1113605
    • ∙ ∙ Piuparts tested OK - https://piuparts.debian.org/sid/source/u/unshield.html
    • ∙ ∙ Reproducible on amd64 - info ♻
    • ∙ ∙ Reproducible on arm64 - info ♻
    • Not considered
