# `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.

Severity: | `info`
Experimental: | `false`
Renamed from: | `xc-package-type-in-debian-control, xs-testsuite-field-in-debian-control, xs-vcs-field-in-debian-control`
