Hi Martin, Thanks for reporting the bug. If you are planning on using "comma" as the canonical separator, please consider also updating the examples in your documentation. E.g. your [1] still says: """ The source package provides a test metadata file debian/tests/control. This is a file containing zero or more RFC822-style stanzas, along these lines: Tests: fred bill bongo Restrictions: needs-root breaks-testbed """ On a related note, do you want us to recommend users to use comma instead of whitespace (by warning about a pure whitespace separator)?
