+Tag: adopted-extended-field
+Severity: info
+Check: debian/control/field/adopted
+Renamed-From:
+ xc-package-type-in-debian-control
+ xs-testsuite-field-in-debian-control
+ xs-vcs-field-in-debian-control
+Explanation: A field in <code>debian/control</code> has an extension prefix
+ but is also known without it.
+ .
+ Extension prefixes like <code>XS-&ast;</code> or <code>XC-&ast;</code> allow
+ experimental fields to propagate to the right place when packages are
+ built with <code>dpkg</code>. In this case, however, the field is
+ also known without the prefix. In all likelihood the field was permanently
+ adopted, and <code>dpkg</code> learned how to deal with it.
+ .
+ Please consider removing the extension prefix for the field name.
