Also, I am wondering about the section and priority: The control file
[3] and the dsc file has contrib/science and optional, but the PTS
lists them as contrib/misc and extra. Who changed that, why is this
done, and shouldn't the uploaded/maintainer be informed about such
changes?
The .dsc file has no Priority or Section on its own, only the binaries
have that information. There may or may not be a priority and section
for source files given in the .changes which may or may not be useful
values.
Aha, now I'm reminded of this bug: #626394
As I don't really care about Priority and Section for source packages,
I haven't thought further about this and dak currently uses misc:extra
for all of them.
FSVO "all". :-P
