Probably, when it becomes more wide-spread? Right now, I can't prove that this functionality is wanted by anyone except me. There is another option. Manpage deb-substvars(5) mentions ${F:fieldname} variable, but it works only for a limited set of fields (like Source, Architecture, Section). For rest of fields, it expands to empty text. Maybe this limitation can be lifted instead, and dh-text will be unnecessary, since ${F:X-Description} would be used instead? -- Accept: text/plain, text/x-diff Accept-Language: eo,en,ru X-Web-Site: sinsekvu.github.io
