Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.76
Severity: wishlist
Dear Maintainer,
by mistake I had used an "Author" field in a dep5 copyright file,
and lintian doesn't complain about unknown fields.
It would be nice to have a warning about this, since it's normally a mistake.
Best

Hi Salvo,
> At the top. Is it allowed? I didn't see it in the dep5 spec.
It is indeed allowed. Section 4 ("File syntax") of:
https://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/copyright-format/1.0/#file-syntax
"Extra fields can be added to any paragraph."
Closing bug to match. :)
Regards,
