I did, yes. I'll correct that, thanks.

That is the impression I got too. Its odd that a comment intended to
help the user find more information should generate this discussion,
particularly as the details in the patch header are more implementation
oriented and make sense when you're looking at the dpkg code (which you
can in the patch).

So I may simply remove the comment that is causing contention.

Cheers,
