Bug#525151: Clarify format of source package name
Package: debian-policy
Version: 3.8.1.0
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
Hello,
Policy 5.6.7. `Package' defines "The name of the binary package.", but
it does not seem that the format of source package names is restricted
anythere. Sanity as well as, I'd say, common use, would say source has
the same format as binary.
Clarifying it would be as trivial as this:
5.6.7. `Package'
----------------
- The name of the binary package.
+ The name of the source and binary package.
Ciao,
Enrico
