Dato, I'm a bit ignorant on this, can you please enlighten me? I now that XS- goes to the Sources and should be put in the source part of debian/control. I guess XB- goes to Packages and should be put in the various binary parts of debian/control. But the latter is suboptimal, has the maintainer would have to put that for each binary package, or am I missing that XB- stuff can be put in the source part and will be propagated to all binary packages? More generally I've an objection to your proposal, the "Homepage" property is specific of a source package, since usually it is tied to where I downloaded a program from, why you think it should be tied to binary packages? (and no, I do not consider the fact that it won't be visible using the current "show" apt-cache command, but only using "showsrc", as a valid reason: that is a deficiency of our tools at best). Thanks for your comment! Cheers. -- Stefano Zacchiroli -*- PhD in Computer Science ............... now what?
