Thanks for the patch! Although I've had this implemented with <https://git.hadrons.org/git/debian/dpkg/dpkg.git/commit/?h=pu/sha-512&id=4df34f697309a816f6e137f13296270ea84ed938> for some time. The problem is that this would require first checking that consumers can cope with the new field, and do not reject files containing them (.dsc, .buildinfo, .changes, Packages, Sources, etc). Then at least in Debian checking whether the added fields incur too much bloat, for the potential security benefit they might bring. (Offsetting this by removing fields would probably imply having to bump the format versions for various of the involved files containing these removed files.) I'd be interested to know the motivation for this submission, and depending on the reasoning perhaps I could modify the original patch and make the support available but disabled by default. Also I've for long been unsatisfied that the available support implies automatic addition to all supported file formats, so I might also end up untangling them. Thanks, Guillem
