~# grep 'Package:' /var/lib/dpkg/status | wc -l
    162
~# grep 'Section:' /var/lib/dpkg/status | wc -l
     70
~# grep 'Section:' /var/lib/dpkg/status
Section: base
Section: interpreters
Section: libs
Section: doc
<...>

Of the 70, only one has <dfsg-status/section>, 
the rest are <section> only.

What is necessary to ensure that one has complete section fields?
