I made the assumption that dpkg-scanpackages was removing some fields (the
Task: field in that case) while generating Packages file since all
Packages files generated by debian-cd had not even a single "Task:" field.
However, after investigation, it looks like that no .deb does have
a Task field (very strange, I was quite sure some people added such
fields) :
rhertzog@p200:~$ find /mirror/debian/pool/ -name '*.deb' | (while read i; do if dpkg -I $i control | grep -q -i Task: ; then echo $i; fi; done)
rhertzog@p200:~$
So those fields are not coming from the packages themselves but from an
"override" file that is not distributed within the mirrors.
The only solution I have is to extract them from the Packages files in
the mirror and reinject them manually in the files generated by
dpkg-scanpackages. And if I do that, there's nothing to change on
dpkg-scanpackages...
