During a build of debian-installer-utils, I got the following warnings:
dh_gencontrol -i
dpkg-gencontrol: warning: deb package with udeb specific field
Installer-Menu-Item
dpkg-gencontrol: warning: deb package with udeb specific field
Installer-Menu-Item
dpkg-gencontrol: warning: deb package with udeb specific field
Installer-Menu-Item
However, debian-installer-utils does not contain _any_ deb packages,
only udebs. So the warning is clearly incorrect.
The cause may be that the header saying they are a udeb is in the
control file _after_ the header listing the menu item. The code should
probably allow for that.
Example of the control fields for one of the udebs:
