So it could be a good idea to explicitely allow that in the Policy, section
7.1 ?
I think it would be very useful if DebPol section 3.2 began with an
informative table of all fields which can happen in a debian/control file,
with links to the relevant (normative) section for details, a very short
description of the kind of data (such as
string/version/versioned_name/relationship/...), the paragraph it can happen
in (source/binary) and a list of flags
(Multi-Line-Allowed/Multi-Line-Mandatory/Optional/Mandatory/....).
I'd be willing to tackle this, but my first version will obviously be wrong.
