Bug Description

Binary package hint: dpkg

Hi,

as of 1.14.16 the Description field in *_source.changes files is missing. But this field is mandatory as mentioned in Debians package policy for source only uploads.

During a chat on IRC with Raphael Herzog, who removed the field, this will be re-introduced in 1.14.17.

Attached you'll find the debdiff with the fix from
http://git.debian.org/?p=dpkg/dpkg.git;a=blobdiff;f=scripts/dpkg-genchanges.pl;h=0fcd529b847c5f51f7f4c5e3ea8c51e186d3730d;hp=7dada21a531c568298764c76dbe9a44b56471101;hb=15fa75bd7143d6ec54f0a77c482ff0cfb72bf440;hpb=1f6feb233d4e7088cb920f386292f8d31d694d3a

Regards,

\sh
