Yes, you'll get several warnings from different dpkg-* programs and the field will be ignored until you start using the new dpkg, though. > - should the field be put in the source stanza of debian/control or in > the various binary stanzas? Yes, only in the source stanza (the ones in the binary stanzas will be ignored and warned), and it will propagate to the source and all the binary packages. I don't think it makes sense to have different Homepage fields on the binary stanzas, but if someone can think of a case it might be useful I could change it to override the source stanza field. > - probably not dpkg's business, but will the field flow to the Packages > files of the archive? What about the Sources? Yes, all fields that get into the binary packages should end up in the meta indices. regards, guillem -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
