Different purposes. udeb is a file format, allowed to break ftp-master checks which would reject a deb from the same upload. Section, if it's anything at all nowadays, is an arbitrary label within the generated Packages file. The Package-Type field determines that file format when dpkg-deb builds the file, so is far more important than Section. If anything is redundant, it's Section - and not just when it is set to debian-installer, every where. (If we finally decide to drop Section, can we also merge Priority: extra and Priority: optional too? That would be saying goodbye to a raft of override bugs / checks). -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
