It derives from what you see that a package of quality shouldn't have a
Packager nor a Vendor field. It seems to me the kind of helpfull rule to avoid
having to take a decision or ask on a mailing list, similar with the advice to
change Copyright to Licence. I had a look at the spec files to try to make an
opinion from the examples, however finding that a field shouldn't be present
would have required to look at all the spec files.
