I'm sorry, but I agree with Joey. There is absolutely no reason why we need the package type in the control file for udebs. They are already 100% identifyable by both section and extention. The way this was implemented basically just ignores the only current official user of the package type field, and is thus not policy compliant. From the PoV of the D-I team this is a real bug that needs to be fixed. Cheers, FJP
