Package: dh-make Severity: normal Tags: patch Dear maintainer,
The field Upstream-Contact is part of the DEP-5 specification as an optional field. Its meaning is to hold information on how to reach upstream. It is wildly use in Debian packages. A grep in all sources packages for buster gives the following results: Total: 26474 DEP5: 22947 Upstream-Contact: 13364 As part of my work for mentors.debian.net, we recently implemented an auto-completion feature for RFS template using this field to extract the Upstream author. It would be a big help if tools such as dh-make or debmake could add Upstream-Contact to the default license template so that new packages benefit from this info. You will find attached a patch adding this field. I hope you can integrate it in the next version. Best, -- Baptiste BEAUPLAT - lyknode
