Please note that I have not promoted the lintian warning as I'm well aware of the background of this. From Cyril's PoV the lintian warning may have seemed logical, but I agree that the real issue is in dpkg which in the view of the D-I team should not include the field in the control file in packages, at least not for udebs. See my mail in reply to Cyril's proposal of the patch: http://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2010/03/msg00190.html Cheers, FJP -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
