What I meant here is that there's usually no point in making the value
“no” explicit by adding the field, as that's the default value if the
field is omitted. This is similar to the “Essential: no” case. I'll
try to reword it a bit.

Indeed, fixing it locally, thanks.

Nope, that check-command is the option argument, which in this case
could be, say, lintian, so those options get passed to that command.
I'll also try to reword this a bit.
Thanks for the review.
