`invalid-field-for-derivative`

The specified field in debian/control does not match the required format for this Debian derivative.

Derivative distributions of Debian may enforce additional restrictions on such fields for many reasons including ensuring that:

Debian maintainers are not contacted for forked or packages that are otherwise modified by the derivative.
The original maintainer is still credited for their work (eg. in a XSBC-Original-Maintainer field).
References to revision control systems (eg. Vcs-Git) are pointing to the correct, updated location.
Fields that become misleading in the context of a derivative are removed.

Severity:	`error`
Experimental:	`false`
