Dear all,
now that the implementation changed
(http://lists.debian.org/87vcf6lbw4.fsf@deep-thought.43-1.org), I propose the
following patch to obsolete the DM-Upload-Allowed field.
This patch creates a new subsection for obsoleted fields. Alternatively we can
concentrate the information where it is, in 5.6.25. Deleting it would cause
some other sub-subsections to be renumbered, so I think that it is better to
avoid.
Have a nice week-end,
