My opinion on this is that using # as a comment marker is already a diversion from RFC 5322 and I was surprised that dpkg had support for it. If we want this to be used outside of Debian, sticking strictly to the syntax for RFC 5322 headers seems like a good idea to me since we're staying with a format with known parsers. -- Russ Allbery ([email protected]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
