Package: devscripts
Version: 2.11.4
Severity: wishlist
Various backup utilities can automatically exclude cache directories if tagged
via the "Cache Directory Tagging" standard
(http://www.brynosaurus.com/cachedir/). Doing so requires creating a file
CACHEDIR.TAG in the cache directory, containing the contents "Signature:
8a477f597d28d172789f06886806bc55". Please consider implementing this standard
by creating this file, so that backup software can automatically exclude the
devscripts cache.
(I'd also love to see a fix for 659330, to consolidate cache directories in
XDG_CACHE_DIR.)

Sounds good. Closing this bug, then.
