I don't really see the point about doing so, actually. If it has the new field, it gets discarded by older dpkg w/o any errors. If it hasn't, what's the problem? p.d.o displays the right information, I believe. And if someone is skillzzzed enough to install backports, one should be able to find the Homepage information on p.d.o. > Maybe it would be useful to have a list of the packages that have the > old pseudo-field in the description and simultaneously do not have the > newer field in control. That sounds way better to me. Cheers, -- Cyril Brulebois
