Thanks a lot for the feedback ! How about the following patch ? Instead
of replacing shoulds by musts, it:
- Replaces "required" by "mandatory" in the list of fields for the Debian
source control and Debian changes files.
- Removes the "shoulds" that I think are misleading. Even if the fields
were still only recommended, I think that they must not be used for
other purposes or with another syntax.
Have a nice week-end,
