Hello Andreas and *,

sorry for the late reply but I was some month not in Europe.

I have added the "XB-Homepage: http://www.foo.org"; to the Source part
of my debian/control and then after buildpackage I have checked my DEB.

It is there AFTER the LONG description, but it is 

        homepage: http://www.foo.org
and not
        Homepage: http://www.foo.org

I was looking into the sourcecode but do not understand, HOW it can
change the first letter to LOWER case...  It seems to me like a Bug.

I use Sarge with the latest updates.
