[Andreas Tille]

Package: libconfig-model-dpkg-perl
Severity: normal

Hi,

I wanted to upgrade ruby-rgfa[1] but cme fails:

ruby-rgfa(master) $ cme fix dpkg-control

unavailable element 'XS-Ruby-Versions' in node 'source'.
                hidden element


Please find a way to deal with XS-Ruby-Versions (I have no idea about
Ruby so I'm not sure whether this is a valid / necessary element).  I
also wonder whether for instance Vcs fields and Standards-Version could
be changed in any case (that's why I used cme) even if this kind of
unknown fields are occuring.

Kind regards

      Andreas.
