Technically, it doesn't matter. Whatever you use in debian/control is not copied to .dsc (it doesn't have section & priority header), it's just used as default for the binary packages in the next stanza's of debian/control. Sources do have a priority and section, but at the moment, that's exclusively set by ftp-master. It seems to me it'd be nicer to have those fields in the .dsc indeed and then also checked by the ftp-master scripts, but that's definitely a post-sarge issue. --Jeroen -- Jeroen van Wolffelaar [EMAIL PROTECTED] (also for Jabber & MSN; ICQ: 33944357) http://Jeroen.A-Eskwadraat.nl -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
