dpkg-dev 1.15.7 stopped outputting the field by default. So this bug can be closed (doing so now). Not really a decision of the committee but I just wanted a decision taken. The lintian tag package-type-in-debian-control can be dropped and replaced by a xc-package-type-in-debian-control that suggests to do the opposite and use the official name. To the d-i team: you can start converting your packages to use the official name now. Cheers, -- Raphaël Hertzog Like what I do?
