# `doc-base-document-field-ends-in-whitespace`

The `Document` field in a `doc-base` file should not end in whitespace. Versions of `doc-base` as recent as 0.8.5 cannot deal gracefully with such fields.

Also, Ddebhelper versions 5.0.57 or earlier may create files that end in whitespace when such files are installed.

Severity: | `error`
Experimental: | `false`
