Package: dpkg-www Severity: wishlist Tags: patch The attached patch provides an update with new archive sections for programming language packages. See https://bugs.debian.org/753480 and https://bugs.debian.org/845576 for more on the new sections. ftpmaster has approved adding the two new sections, conditional on support for them in the various packages with lists of archive section names.
We'd like to include support for these sections in the next stable release of Debian, so that packages from stable can process packages from testing, unstable, experimental, backports, and third-party archives without encountering unknown section names. Please consider applying this patch and uploading a version with this patch included in either December or early January, to allow plenty of time for the upload to propagate to testing before the freeze in early February.
