Bug#1064454: debian-policy: Restrict deb822 field names more



Simon Josefsson:
Would it make sense to change this to use an inclusive list of permitted
characters instead?  How about checking the field names that is in use
today, and construct a regexp of permitted symbols out of that?
Starting point: [A-Za-z][A-Za-z0-9-_]*

/Simon

That is an option and would work for me.

Though, the starting point should include "_" as allowed for first character for the reasons listed in my opening email.

Best regards,
Niels
