No, the way I "hacked" the citations for MPQC and CP2K in the obsolete (and possibly the current debian/upstream) system is exactly as the authors wish/requerst. It *is* the canonical citation for those packages. So if we are serious about "Please cite as:", we should provide a way for our users to use the upstream citation, even if that is not a publication. > I assume if they would like to simply specify the Homepage of a > software they have used they will do it. The citation includes the authors/team, the version and the year, not just the homepage. Or maybe I misunderstood what you mean above.
