No duplicates are allowed. I'm curious what's the reason you'd like to list two Vcs-Git fields, is this to list multiple mirrors/alternative-URLs of the same repo? > From Debian policy 4.4.0 paragraph 5.6.26: > > More than one different VCS may be specified for the same package. Right, and apparently I seconded that change, with this very confused wording :/, although my reading is different: as in diffferent VCS types are allowed, which would be consistent with the current behavior. But even then I'm not sure what's the point alogether. At a minimum this sentences needs to be clarified, or maybe just entirely dropped, as it looks very confusing? Thanks, Guillem
