[Pkg-gnupg-maint] Bug#486134: dpkg-gencontrol puts Homepage field into udeb

[Thijs Kinkhorst]

Package: dpkg-dev
Version: 1.14.19
Severity: normal

Hi,

The package 'gnupg' creates two regular debs and two microdebs. We have a 
Homepage field in the source stanza of debian/control. This field is copied
into the individual control files of all the packages we build, including
the udebs. However, udebs should not have Homepage fields and Lintian
correctly complains about this:

I: gpgv-udeb udeb: unknown-field-in-control homepage
I: gnupg-udeb udeb: unknown-field-in-control homepage

Please omit Homepage from any udeb packages built.


cheers,
Thijs
