It's not included and has never been, because only the ones with B are. But now it's explicit given that dpkg-gencontrol supports the field. Package-Type should have been XB- from the beginning. That information is pertinent to the binary package and not to the changes file. Also this way dpkg-deb will be able to automatically select the correct extension, for example. So if there's no other argument I'll close the bug report tomorrow or so. Note that apart from the warning the current udebs should build as before. > Should we start converting to use "Package-Type"?

Bug#452273: dpkg-gencontrol: incorrect warning "deb package with udeb specific field Installer-Menu-Item"
The actual problem seems to be that XC-Package-Type is not included in %f. Maybe because of the XC- prefix? From a debugging session: %f = ( 'Architecture' => 'all' 'Depends' => 'cdebconf-udeb, di-utils (>= 1.18)' 'Description' => 'Execute a shell' 'Installer-Menu-Item' => 95000 'Maintainer' => 'Debian Install System Team <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>' 'Package' => 'di-utils-shell' 'Priority' => 'standard' 'Section' => 'debian-installer' 'Version' => 1.50 ) Note that almost all udebs currently have "XC-Package-Type" as header instead of "Package-Type", so supporting that would be very much appreciated. Should we start converting to use "Package-Type"?
Bug#452273: dpkg-gencontrol: incorrect warning "deb package with udeb specific field Installer-Menu-Item"
Package: dpkg-dev
Version: 1.14.9
Severity: normal
Tags: d-i
During a build of debian-installer-utils, I got the following warnings:
dh_gencontrol -i
dpkg-gencontrol: warning: deb package with udeb specific field
Installer-Menu-Item
dpkg-gencontrol: warning: deb package with udeb specific field
Installer-Menu-Item
dpkg-gencontrol: warning: deb package with udeb specific field
Installer-Menu-Item
However, debian-installer-utils does not contain _any_ deb packages,
only udebs. So the warning is clearly incorrect.
The cause may be that the header saying they are a udeb is in the
control file _after_ the header listing the menu item. The code should
probably allow for that.
Example of the control fields for one of the udebs:
Package: di-utils-shell
Architecture: all
Depends: ${misc:Depends}, di-utils (>= 1.18)
XB-Installer-Menu-Item: 95000

I asked neuro on > IRC, I'm waiting his answer. FWIW, Ryan is not interested to add this feature. During the discussion, we came to the conclusion that we should rather avoid using debian/*.symbols files in favor of debian/*.symbols. when the package maintainer is not sure if there's going to be differences in the set of symbols for all architectures. He can use #include to avoid duplicating the content too many times. That way unofficial arch won't use symbols files until the maintainer explicitely added support for them.

That's true even for official arches in many cases. :) Anyway, I have nothing against adding support for unofficial arches on mole but the unofficial arches need to be made available in some coherent archive to not have to hardcode an URL for each unofficial arch.
