While this is technically correct, is there a reason that you do not wish to use "%"? I ran a search [1] and I don't see even a single package in the archive that uses .DEFAULT rule. Hence I am unsure if adding this is resulting in any advantage here. [1] https://codesearch.debian.net/search?q=.DEFAULT+path%3Adebian%2Frules&literal=1
