Package: debian-policy Severity: minor Policy ยง5.1 states that:
""" [...] The field name is composed of US-ASCII characters excluding control characters, space, and colon (i.e., characters in the ranges 33-57 and 59-126, inclusive). Field names must not begin with the comment character, #. """ This suggests that (e.g.) "-Field: value" is a valid field. Or (a bit more screwed): "-----BEGIN: PGP SIGNATURE-----" would be the field "-----BEGIN" with a value of "PGP SIGNATURE-----". I would like recommend that the Policy explicitly forbids the use of "-" at the start of a field name. ~Niels -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
