So does dpkg-dev now discard Package-Type for udebs? Or not?
AFAICT, that seems to be the key issue behind keeping XC-Package-Type
and why the lintian warning was used in the first place. [I suppose an
alternative would be a lintian warning which noted the presence of
Package-Type: in the udeb itself instead of looking at the source
package's debian/control, which would allow this transition.]
