Bug#319370: lintian: duplicate fields in debian/control erroneously tagged as errors



Package: lintian
Version: 1.23.10
Severity: normal


Probably as a consequence of the fix for bug #299792, lintian now flags
duplicate fields in different paragraphs of debian/control as an error
(debian-control-with-duplicate-fields).
The duplication check should not span across paragraphs.  Multiple 
binary packages generated from a single source can very well have
different Depends fields (or Architecture, Suggests, etc).
