We present numerical evidence for the fact that the damage spreading transition in the Domany-Kinzel automaton found by Martins \it et al. is in the same universality class as directed percolation. We conjecture that also other damage spreading transitions should be in this universality class, unless they coincide with other transitions (as in the Ising model with Glauber dynamics) and provided the probability for a locally damaged state to become healed is not zero.
