It's not included and has never been, because only the ones with B are.
But now it's explicit given that dpkg-gencontrol supports the
field. Package-Type should have been XB- from the beginning. That
information is pertinent to the binary package and not to the changes
file. Also this way dpkg-deb will be able to automatically select the
correct extension, for example. So if there's no other argument I'll
close the bug report tomorrow or so.

Note that apart from the warning the current udebs should build as
before.

Sure.
