Lintian tag: adopted-extended-field

Type: information

Description (from lintian-explain-tags)

A field in debian/control has an extension prefix but is also known
without it.

Extension prefixes like XS-* or XC-* allow experimental fields to
propagate to the right place when packages are built with dpkg. In this
case, however, the field is also known without the prefix. In all
likelihood the field was permanently adopted, and dpkg learned how to deal
with it.

Please consider removing the extension prefix for the field name.
