Package: libdebian-source-perl Version: 0.94 Severity: normal The ‘Debian::Control::Stanza’ constructor assumes that field names must have the exact case of the names as defined in that library. This assumption is incorrect.
Given a Perl module::
use Debian::Control::Stanza::Source;
my $s = Debian::Control::Stanza::Source->new( {
'Build-Depends' => "debhelper",
'VCS-Git' => "https://example.org/";,
} );
The above code causes the error message::
Invalid field given (VCS_Git) at ./foo.pl line 6.
The spelling “VCS-Git” is not invalid. Debian Policy §5.1 specifies
that “Field names are not case-sensitive […]”.
The library should allow field names without regard to their
capitalisation. For example, the names “vcs-git”, “Vcs-Git”,
“VCS-Git”, “vcS-gIt” should all be interpreted as the same field name
by ‘libdebian-source-perl’.
