For reference, that commit says this:
| dpkg-genchanges: Only reference binary packages being uploaded
| 
| The .changes file describes an upload, and its Binary and Description
| fields should contain (as documented) only references to the packages
| being uploaded.
| 
| In case of a source-only upload, the Binary and Description fields
| should be empty.

| Closes: #818618

And the "--ignore=missingfield" option is not sufficient to ignore the
error (the "Binary" field is not among the fields that are ignorable).

$ reprepro --ignore=missingfield processincoming kali 
rfcat_170508-0kali3_source.changes
In 'rfcat_170508-0kali3_source.changes': Missing 'Binary' field!
There have been errors!

This is rather annoying as we can't use the latest dpkg to upload packages
to any reprepro-based repository.

Cheers,
