Hi Lars, the cited email specifies: - describe the fact that the package is autobuildable in debian/copyright, X-Autobuild was a poor choice. My current opinion is that, unless there is an interest to parse a specific field, it it better to use existing ones, in that case Comment or Disclaimer. So I think that the question goes to [email protected] (CCed): would you like a specific field for your purposes?
