Package: dpkg-dev
Version: 1.14.24ubuntu1
Severity: normal

The current wording of the deb-substvars manpage implies that substvars can be 
used for any field; however the existence of bug #5210 (marked wontfix) implies
that this is not the case.  The documentation needs to be fixed to be in 
conformance with actual behavior.
