Package: dpkg

A lot of Ubuntu packages emit this warning on build:
dpkg-deb: warning: 'package/DEBIAN/control' contains user-defined
field 'Original-Maintainer'
dpkg-deb: warning: ignoring 1 warning about the control file(s)
In Ubuntu we encourage the use of XSBC-Original-Maintainer, thus we
shouldn't warn about it. I thought this was Ubuntu specific, but was
told that I should file a bug upstream for inclusion instead.
So I'm sending a patch to add Original-Maintainer as a known
header field in debian/control.
The reason I've never done this myself (the patch is trivial, and
ideally it would also cover the source packages), is because it does
not work when there's a derivative of a derivative, etc, so it's not
a generic solution. I'll ponder about this.
Thanks,
Guillem
