I would prefer to apply your change; mainly because it removes the special handling of udebs in one place (and fewer special cases is always better). However, I am not sure about the required format to udeb .desc files. As you describe it, the situation is: * the Package: field is not needed for udebs * but if it is there and contains alternatives, the installation breaks. Do I understand you correctly? Best Ole
