Bug#1017064: lintian: incorrectly complains about adopted-extended-field XB-Ruby-Versions
Package: lintian
Version: 2.115.2
Severity: important
Hello,
this could be due to an incomplete fix for bug #999768 or maybe it
is caused by some other bug.
Anyway, I have:
$ grep -n Ruby-Versions debian/control
9:XS-Ruby-Versions: all
16:XB-Ruby-Versions: ${ruby:Versions}
in my package ('apt-listbugs').
Running "lintian -EviIL +pedantic" on the .changes file generates
the following reports:
N:
W: apt-listbugs source: unknown-field Ruby-Versions
N:
N: See the Policy Manual for a list of the possible fields in a package
N: control files.
N:
N: Please refer to Binary package control files – DEBIAN/control (Section
N: 5.3) in the Debian Policy Manual and Debian source control files – .dsc
N: (Section 5.4) in the Debian Policy Manual for details.

N:
I: apt-listbugs source: adopted-extended-field (in section for apt-listbugs) XB-Ruby-Versions [debian/control:16]
N:
N: A field in debian/control has an extension prefix but is also known
N: without it.
N:
N: Extension prefixes like XS-* or XC-* allow experimental fields to
N: propagate to the right place when packages are built with dpkg. In this
N: case, however, the field is also known without the prefix. In all
N: likelihood the field was permanently adopted, and dpkg learned how to deal
N: with it.
N:
N: Please consider removing the extension prefix for the field name.

N: Visibility: info
N: Show-Always: no
N: Check: debian/control/field/adopted
N: Renamed from: xc-package-type-in-debian-control
N: xs-testsuite-field-in-debian-control xs-vcs-field-in-debian-control
N:
Both reports look wrong, since I have no plain 'Ruby-Versions'
field in my package source, and 'XB-Ruby-Versions' has not been
adopted, thus requiring the 'XB-' prefix.
Please fix this bug in lintian.
Thanks for your time and patience!
