Package: dpkg
Version: 1.16.10

Hi!

A lot of Ubuntu packages emit this warning on build:

dpkg-deb: warning: '<package>/DEBIAN/control' contains user-defined field 'Original-Maintainer'
dpkg-deb: warning: ignoring 1 warning about the control file(s)

In Ubuntu we encourage the use of XSBC-Original-Maintainer, thus we shouldn't warn about it. I thought this was Ubuntu specific, but was told that I should file a bug upstream for inclusion instead.

So I'm sending a patch to add "Original-Maintainer" as a known header field in debian/control.
