The source package does not have a Standards-Version control
field. Please update your package to latest Policy and set this
control field appropriately.

Refer to Debian Policy Manual section 5.6.11 (Standards-Version) for
details.

,----[ 4.1. Standards conformance ]
|  Source packages should specify the most recent version number of this
|  policy document with which your package complied when it was last
|  updated.
| 
|  This information may be used to file bug reports automatically if your
|  package becomes too much out of date.
| 
|  The version is specified in the `Standards-Version' control field.
|  The format of the `Standards-Version' field is described in Section
|  5.6.11, ``Standards-Version''.
| 
|  You should regularly, and especially if your package has become out of
|  date, check for the newest Policy Manual available and update your
|  package, if necessary.  When your package complies with the new
|  standards you should update the `Standards-Version' source package
|  field and release it.
`----

,----[ 5.6.11. `Standards-Version' ]
|  The most recent version of the standards (the policy manual and
|  associated texts) with which the package complies.
`----

A missing standards version is a violation of a Should directive in
policy, and normally would be filed as important.

Filed as serious, since a package with these files will currently get
this package rejected. See
  http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2009/10/msg00004.html
for details. This means the package has been deemed too buggy to be in
Debian.
