As per the manpage, dcontrol is an interface to https://qa.debian.org/c gi-bin/dcontrol . If you perform the same queries via that script directly, then you'll receive the same result, so dcontrol appears to be behaving exactly correctly AFAICS. > $ dcontrol debhelper/sid > > Package: debhelper > Binary: debhelper, dh-systemd > Version: 11.3.5 [...] > Package: debhelper > Priority: optional > Section: devel > Installed-Size: 1520 > Maintainer: Joey Hess <jo...@debian.org> > Architecture: all > Version: 8.1.6 > > Here it outputs information about multiple versions of debhelper, > including rather old ones.

Again, try making queries via the https://qa.debian.org/cgi-bin/dcontrol interface, and check the list of suites available in the dropdown. > Maybe I just do not understand what `dcontrol' is expected > to do, but I believe two mentioned queries are rather similar: > > * I expect debhelper/sid report version in sid > * I expect debhelper/stretch report version in stretch As above, these both appears to be issues with the source data.
