I made the assumption that dpkg-scanpackages was removing some fields (the Task: field in that case) while generating Packages file since all Packages files generated by debian-cd had not even a single "Task:" field. However, after investigation, it looks like that no .deb does have a Task field (very strange, I was quite sure some people added such fields) : rhertzog@p200:~$ find /mirror/debian/pool/ -name '*.deb' | (while read i; do if dpkg -I $i control | grep -q -i Task: ; then echo $i; fi; done) rhertzog@p200:~$ So those fields are not coming from the packages themselves but from an "override" file that is not distributed within the mirrors. The only solution I have is to extract them from the Packages files in the mirror and reinject them manually in the files generated by dpkg-scanpackages. And if I do that, there's nothing to change on dpkg-scanpackages...
