Package: lintian
Version: 2.112.0
Severity: serious

Lintian now reports

I: nvidia-graphics-drivers source: adopted-extended-field XS-Autobuild (in section for source) [debian/control:26]

but that field is not usable as Autobuild, dpkg/sid does not accept it:

dpkg-gencontrol: warning: unknown information field 'Autobuild' in input data in general section of control info file
dpkg-genchanges: warning: unknown information field 'Autobuild' in input data in general section of control info file
dpkg-source: warning: unknown information field 'Autobuild' in input data in general section of control info file
