Sorry, I missed that.

These messages are coming from dpkg-dev programs (dpkg-source and
dpkg-gencontrol) but the reason is clearly the version of dpkg-dev used
in Etch (1.13.25), where I was building the package, that is prior to
the one that expect the field (1.14.6).

I'm going to put that field there back again.
Thanks for your point Frank.

Cheers,
Daniel
