The package has a debian/watch file, but the last attempt
to use it for checking for newer upstream versions failed with
an error:
In watchfile debian/watch, reading webpage https://github.com/ablab/spades/tags failed: 500 Can't connect to github.com:443 (Temporary failure in name resolution)
testing migration
This package will soon be part of the auto-libssw 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.
