True, the documentation is incorrect to state that a value of "D" only for 
datafile backups

Hi,

But as per documentation
V$BACKUP_SET.BACKUP_TYPE holds the Type of files that are in this backup. 
If the
backup contains archived redo logs, the value is L. If this is a datafile 
full backup, the value is D. If this is an incremental backup, the value is 
I."
 
So, I suppose even if it is a control file backup backup_type is updated as 
"D" , which as per documentation will only come for a full datafile backup. 
This looks like misleading or incomplete.
