Explanation: A field in debian/control
has an extension prefix
but is also known without it.
.
Extension prefixes like XS-*
or XC-*
allow
experimental fields to propagate to the right place when packages are
built with dpkg
. In this case, however, the field is
also known without the prefix. In all likelihood the field was permanently
adopted, and dpkg
learned how to deal with it.
.
Please consider removing the extension prefix for the field name.
