Hello everybody,

actually, the "X-" prefix is not recommended.

http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/copyright-format/1.0/#file-syntax

  Extra fields can be added to any paragraph. No prefixing is necessary or
  desired, but please avoid names similar to standard ones so that mistakes are
  easier to catch. 

Cheers,
