I guess this could be considered of serious severity as a policy violation (ยง5.1), but I'll let the affected maintainers decide.

This was unfortunately still not enough information, but I managed non the less to intuit this is due to a problem in a helper tool, but not sure which one you are using, but certainly not a problem in dpkg-dev. It seems at least both debhelper and cdbs are affected, if you are using something else, please do tell. At least Debian::Debhelper::Dh_Lib, /usr/share/cdbs/1/rules/buildcore.mk, /usr/share/cdbs/1/rules/buildvars.mk and /usr/lib/cdbs/list-packages do parse control files but do not handle the field names in a case-insensitive way. There might be other instances on those packages. Thanks, Guillem -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
