Hi Joey,
in section 5.3, that lists Built-Using as a field found in binary control
files, it is not marked as mandatory or recommended. Of course, documenting is
encouraging in a way.
However, if our archive relies on this field to ensure that we respect the
redistribution terms of the materials it contains, then I think that it would
be consistent to mark the field recommended when we will update its
description, either when following up on the current disucssion in the BTS
(#688251), or after this discussion on -devel emerges in an implemented
solution.
Have a nice day,
