Bug#1101404: libconfig-model-dpkg-perl: Odd reordering of control fields

[Guillem Jover]

Package: libconfig-model-dpkg-perl
Version: 3.012
Severity: normal

Hi!

I had been seeing an odd order for fields in several packages I've
been fixing lately and was wondering what had caused those. Today
after seeing a commit with tool attribution I realized it was
«cme fix» performing those changes. The commit at hand was:

  https://salsa.debian.org/go-team/packages/golang-github-go-openapi-runtime/-/commit/7ac1df4348a5cdfa5b98c182735d0e5228e27a58

And fix for that (well merely a revert) was:

  https://salsa.debian.org/go-team/packages/golang-github-go-openapi-runtime/-/commit/1352c4b

The rationale for these changes can be found in:

  https://github.com/Debian/dh-make-golang/commit/9da71c1a77e82ba2c1ab0da1d1e5404cc3688ad1

Which reminded me to check what's the order in the dpkg documentation,
and it does not look to be consistent, so I'll fix that to match, but
given that dpkg is already frozen, that will probably be queued for
1.23.x.

Similar with debian/copyright field ordering in, as updated in Debian
Policy:

Thanks,
