My point is that if the Built-Using field is not to be used elsewhere than in binary control files, I propose, if and only if this is consensual, to submit an amended patch that makes this clear in the Policy. [And about how I made a wrong statement about dpkg's internals in my previous email: I quickly took Installed-Size as an exemple of field that is not found in source control files to reverse-engeneer what ALL_PKG means, saw that it is "allowed => ALL_PKG & ~CTRL_INFO_PKG" and that the field above, Homepage is "allowed => ALL_SRC | ALL_PKG", and wrongly concluded that ALL_SRC meant source and ALL_PKG meant binary. I hope that the rest of my answer to Ansgar is more useful, and also welcome feedback about it.
