commit 77468f63956d0681dd67bd959e6ae9a23ce907bd Author: Niels Thykier <[email protected]> Date: Wed Nov 30 21:08:43 2016 +0000 c/deb-format.desc: Remove copy-wasted sentence The removed sentence talks about the data member of a deb, but the tag is for the control member. Furthermore, it is not really applicible for the control member as all the files in that are generally UTF-8 text files/scripts.
