This package source is not there in the archive anymore and I see no other way
to get it. I took up a sample package and changed the section in d/control to
"Section: FIXME-(packages."(name)".section)"
On building the package I can see a warning emitted and I suppose the tag is
present
already and probably was emitted.
However, for rust-derivre 0.3.12-1 I do not see this in the UDD and as per code
it should
have. I am not sure where the problem exactly could be (somewhere in UDD?
actual lintian?)
Can you give me a way to reproduce this?
