Hi,
These bugs are mostly about documenting optional parts of the
control file, and this should really be done in dpkg
documentation. Also, this is not quite yet customary practice, and
does not yet seem to be required. If people are interested in making
this into policy, and can come up with reasons that pass the test of
"why does it have to be mandated" as opposed to being added to an
overrides file centerally (I may want to create a package that I
upload to debian, but also keep in a local repo -- over rides files
handle that scenario), well, they can always file a new proposal.
