The ``control`` file contains the information that the package manager (such as ``apt-get``, ``synaptic``, and ``adept``) uses, build-time dependencies, maintainer information, and much more.

For the Ubuntu ``hello`` package, the ``control`` file looks something like this:

The first paragraph describes the source package including the list of packages required to build the package from source in the ``Build-Depends`` field. It also contains some meta-information such as the maintainer's name, the version of Debian Policy that the package complies with, the location of the packaging version control repository, and the upstream home page.

Note that in Ubuntu, we set the ``Maintainer`` field to a general address because anyone can change any package (this differs from Debian where changing packages is usually restricted to an individual or a team). Packages in Ubuntu should generally have the ``Maintainer`` field set to ``Ubuntu Developers <ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com>``. If the Maintainer field is modified, the old value should be saved in the ``XSBC-Original-Maintainer`` field. This can be done automatically with the ``update-maintainer`` script available in the ``ubuntu-dev-tools`` package. For further information, see the `Debian Maintainer Field spec <MaintField_>`_ on the Ubuntu wiki.

This file gives the copyright information for both the upstream source and the packaging. Ubuntu and `Debian Policy (Section 12.5) <policy-copyright_>`_ require that each package installs a verbatim copy of its copyright and license information to ``/usr/share/doc/$(package_name)/copyright``.

Generally, copyright information is found in the ``COPYING`` file in the program's source directory. This file should include such information as the names of the author and the packager, the URL from which the source came, a Copyright line with the year and copyright holder, and the text of the copyright itself. An example template would be::
