Hi everybody, I propose to add debian to the list of remote databases (REMOTE_IDS).
This could be useful for clients that use the debian-maintained information to do further processing. The project I'm having in mind here is exherbo-pkg[1], which uses the debian watch file to find new package versions. While this is already possible for many packages which have the same name on exherbo and debian, there are a number of packages which currently don't satisfy this requirement. Adding a debian REMOTE_ID for those packages would allow the tool to work with them as well. If this proposal is accepted, debian.exlib should probably patched to provide the remote id automatically. What do you think?
