# `debian-control-has-unusual-field-spacing`

A field in the `debian/control` file has an unusual amount of whitespace after the colon.

The syntax for Deb822 files permits any kind of space, but according to Policy there is a convention to use a single space after the colon.

Severity: | `pedantic`
Experimental: | `false`
