I'd rather put it in debian/README.source, I see no need of shoveling yet more fields into debian/control. (Yeah, yeah, having it there would make it possible to do debheckout --upstream or similar, but.. that would be rarely needed enough to use README.source instead). -- |8] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
