I note that you plan to modify the helper tools
(debhelper/cdbs/yada/etc). I think that you will get better coverage
by modifying dpkg-dev instead. Have you not considered that option or
am I missing a disadvantage of it?
Thanks for working on this, it is really great to see it happening finally.

I think tying such information to a source or binary package is a bad
idea since it changes independently of the package. I have similar
issues with the Homepage field and to a lesser extent, watch files.

Sounds like upstream should be persuaded to move the shared library
code into the daemon since there is no reason for it to be in a
library. Until then, install it as a private shared library and use
rpath so the daemon/plugins can find the library.

/usr/local/share/l7-protocols. Patterns created by the sysadmin could
