Package: deborphan
Version: 1.7.28.8-0.1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
The output of deborphan contains a spurious entry when a package contains the
'Package-Type' field in /var/lib/dpkg/status. The python-paramiko package, for
example contains the following field:
Package-Type: deb
As a result, the output of 'deborphan -a' contains the following:
main/python deb:all
Of course, the package 'deb' does not exist. Therefore the output is
misleading. A likely explanation is that deborphan searches for '^Package' when
looking for package names and does not consider the extra characters before the
colon.
