5.6.19. Binary

This folded field is a list of binary packages. Its syntax and meaning varies depending on the control file in which it appears.

When it appears in the .dsc file, it lists binary packages which a source package can produce, separated by commas 13. The source package does not necessarily produce all of these binary packages for every architecture. The source control file doesn’t contain details of which architectures are appropriate for which of the binary packages.

When it appears in a .changes file, it lists the names of the binary packages being uploaded, separated by whitespace (not commas).
