Package: dpkg
Version: 1.16.10
Hi!
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.

I just removed the warnings entirely, so this got fixed in that dpkg
version above. Closing now.
Thanks,
