I don't think such field exists?
License is usually specified in debian/copyright file.
Thanks @kornelski , you are right, it looks to be an issue with some external tooling that we have that is looking for the field in the control
file. We'll update that to look in debian/copyright
in addition. Some tools, like https://github.com/jordansissel/fpm, seem to add it to the control
file.

field is not set in the generatedcontrol
file. This can be reproduced within this repository:Notice the missing License field there. And then:
We can see it isn't in the
control
file. This results in theLicense
being listed asUnknown
in our APT repository when uploading the package.
