Hi -devel! We (lindi, liw and me) had just a short discussion in #-devel, that it would be nice to have some sort of Vcs-Upstream-* in debian/control, to be able to get to upstreams vcs history if it is not imported in debian's vcs (which is often the case when using svn-bp or git-bf with import-orig). [background: lindi is doing some git-copyright checks and it fails heavily if there is no upstream history as the debian maintainer is asumed to be the copyright holder for everything]
My suggestion would even go further (attention, I have NO idea how debian/control is parsed and how much work the following would be): Let's make that Vcs-<Vendor> with <Vendor> (like in DEP3) Debian, Upstream, Ubuntu, Whoever-else-uses-the-packaging.
