Hi David and all,

after reading the following thread on debian-policy@l.d.o, I got convinced that
using a X- prefix is not a good idea:

http://lists.debian.org/debian-policy/2009/03/msg00343.html

Just using fields that are not yet formally described seems more human-readable,
as well as time-saving.

Have a nice day,
