[debhelper-devel] Bug#879667: Missing component in generated control file Section: line for dbgsym packages

[Mihai Moldovan]

Package: debhelper
Version: 10.10.3

While building packages for Debian sid, I noticed that dbgsym packages for
non-main components got uploaded to the main component in my reprepro-managed
repository.

reprepro isn't at fault, since a build with sbuild reveals this in the dbgsym
packages generated control file:

"Section: debug"


Builds against buster and below are not affected. The generated control file on
these platforms has this:

"Section: component/debug"


If necessary, I can provide package build log files (out of our custom package
building system, but essentially it's just building via sbuild and doing
preparation and upload work via dupload.)


I also recommend checking the Debian repository for sid dbgsym packages that
made it into "main" even though they should have been in another component
(although I guess for Debian that shouldn't be a huge problem, since mostly only
main-component packages have dbgsym packages.)
