X*B*-Package-Type should work as well.

Except it will only work if the package uses 'Package-Type' and not
'X*-Package-Type'. We should maybe offer a function to retrieve the
name/value of a field be it official or user-defined.

Yes, makes sense. I've just fixed it in dpkg's git [0].

Hey,

I raised this issue on #debian-boot (irc), and was told that the
concerns by "(a d-i maintainer | someone who was willing to express an
opinion" were correct. Frans Pop from the debian-installer team verified
that the Homepage field should not be included in the udeb:

20:11 < mejo> fjp: did you see Russ's response to my question regarding
  Homepage Field in udebs?
20:11 < mejo> fjp: i mean on [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[...]
20:12 < fjp> mejo: Please file a bug against dpkg-dev.
20:14 < fjp> mejo: Russ is correct: we don't want the homepage field in
 the control file of udebs


If nobody has any objections, i'll follow Frans' advice and file a bug
against dpkg-dev.

greetings,
 jonas

This is what I was told by (a d-i maintainer | someone who was willing to
express an opinion).  I'm happy to change lintian if having Homepage in
udeb is deemed acceptable.  Otherwise, dpkg should probably be modified to
not propagate Homepage fields into udebs.

Unfortunately not. It's already 'Homepage' in debian/control. lintian
inself seems to lowercase the field.

Quick guess: could this be a case-sensitivity issue? Should be
"Homepage:"...

Hello,

I'm not sure whether this is an issue with dpkg or rather with lintian,

lintian reports that udebs don't allow the Homepage field in

If I got it right, the Homepage field belongs to the Source section of
debian/control, so I see no way to keep it out of the udeb.

Here's the exact lintian message:

What version of lintian do you have?  That should be fixed by now.

Thanks,
