Package: debian-policy Hi,
The installable stanzas in d/control (called "binary package paragraphs" in policy) inherit the Section field from the source paragraph. There is no reason to provide inheritance the other way around. Also, sources may not build successfully on all architectures. People do not often use Debian's sources directly, but we distribute them just like installation packages. The Section field in the source paragraph (called "general paragraph" in policy) reveals important clues about the DFSG-classification of the sources. It should be required. Policy section 5.2 presently shows the field as merely recommended. Thanks! Kind regards Felix Lechner
