I certainly think this is a great goal, but I have some reservations about the process. You are using debian/upstream, which in no way is in some science-related namespace and appears to be for general-purpose upstream metadata. Therefore, I think before wide adoption, this should be discussed on debian-devel and/or be a DEP. Presenting this as a fait accompli to -devel after x packages have been converted might result in some irritation or confusion. Possibly I have just missed that conversation though, so excuse me in that case. Cheers, Michael -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
