Good idea!

Sounds like we want something a bit more machine-readable than README.source.
Is it legal to add fields to a DEP-5 debian/copyright for this? If not,
I wonder if a debian/source/rdata with some field (or similar) could work?
An example from the R maintainers (especially including a violating case)
would be extremely useful.
