Hi,
Here goes. :)
On a L::Collect::Source:
* $info->field => .dsc
* $info->source_field => d/control
There is usually an overlap as dpkg-source copies most fields from
d/control into the .dsc.
Related, there is also $source_info->binary_field vs.
$binary_info->field (i.e. L::Collect::Binary). More or less same case,
except here you can also see unexpected substvars in the binary_field case.
Thanks,
~Niels
