Bug#154422: dpkg-scanpackages converts case on control fields.

[Goswin Brederlow <goswin.brederlow@student.uni-tuebingen.de>]

Hi,

the control field of john_1.6-17_i386.deb states:
Package: john
Version: 1.6-17
Section: admin
Priority: optional
Architecture: i386
Depends: libc6 (>= 2.2.4-4)
Installed-Size: 1012
Origin: debian
Maintainer: Christian Kurz <shorty@debian.org>
Bugs: debbugs://bugs.debian.org
Description: An active password cracking tool
 john, normally called john the ripper, is a tool to find
 weak passwords of your users, and even mail them automatically
 if you want.


But:
% dpkg-scanpackages . /dev/null
Package: john
Version: 1.6-17
Priority: optional
Section: admin
Maintainer: Christian Kurz <shorty@debian.org>
Depends: libc6 (>= 2.2.4-4)
Architecture: i386
Filename: ./john_1.6-17_i386.deb
Size: 515854
Installed-Size: 1012
MD5sum: 25a2e5882da3fec5455a608204bc105b
Description: An active password cracking tool
 john, normally called john the ripper, is a tool to find
 weak passwords of your users, and even mail them automatically
 if you want.
bugs: debbugs://bugs.debian.org
origin: debian

 ** Packages in archive but missing from override file: **
  john

 Wrote 1 entries to output Packages file.


The bugs and origin fileds change case and wrongly so. Policy on
control fields is to start with an upper-case letter.

MfG
        Goswin
