Package: dpkg
Version: 1.4.0.19
Severity: wishlist
As Deity progressed, it will be able to make use of a "Keyword:" field
within the dpkg header. Could you please add this field when you get a
chance?
At some point, the Deity team will be putting to gether a standard list
of keywords for people to use. They can of course create new ones, but
trying to keep to standard ones will improve access by avoiding similar
keywords.
Thanks!

Hi Brian!
I just noticed your bug report against dpkg, to get a new Keywords: field.
I'm wondering why you filed it against dpkg, as dpkg can handle any
fields. Is it that you wanted it to be mentioned in the manuals?
If so, I'll reassign this bug report to either debian-policy or
packaging-manual.
Thanks,
Chris

Message #17 received at 13353-submitter@bugs.debian.org (full text, mbox, reply):
You have submitted a proposed modification to the Debian Policy. I
would be most grateful if you could check on the status of your
proposal (at http://www.debian.org/Bugs/db/pa/ldebian-policy.html) and
change the title/severity/forwarded status to indicate its present
status, in anticipation of a forthcoming policy revision.
Instructions on the scheme used can be found in
/usr/doc/debian-policy/proposal.text.gz if you are using a new policy
package, and if not, then check out
http://www.debian.org/~srivasta/policy/.
To change the status of a report in the BTS, email
control@bugs.debian.org with one or more lines like the following:
retitle 12345 [ACCEPTED 10/10/99] Allow foobar in section 9.9.9
forwarded 12345 debian-policy@lists.debian.org
severity 12345 normal
You can finish the list of commands with the line:
thanks
Thanks for the help!

Message #26 received at 13353-done@bugs.debian.org (full text, mbox, reply):
Since deity has been superseded by apt, the Keywords field is not
really relevant at this point. If appropriate, the APT team will
re-propose this.
