adopted-extended-field

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.

Renamed from: xc-package-type-in-debian-control, xs-testsuite-field-in-debian-control, xs-vcs-field-in-debian-control
