So sorry for blaming wheezy for a lack of missing fields (I was working
only on a partial mirror when testing).
Regarding squeeze: Could somebody give some reasons for refusing an
additional field in the Packages files? It is hard to cope with "it is
unlikely". A yes or no would be more helpful to find a reasonable
decision for the UDD importer.
Kind regards
Andreas.
