That is one of the use-cases that MUD was designed for. > One idea might be to use some custom field in debian/control (see > http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-controlfields.html#s5.7) > that point to the original .dsc file in Debian, e.g.: > > XC-Original-Dsc: > http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/d/dbus-python/dbus-python_0.83.0- >1.dsc Hmm. I'm not sure you would want to point to a particular file on the Debian ftp servers -- they add and remove files as the project progresses. If you want a particular version as the base then surely the sources should be stored in garage so they don't suddenly disappear. If you want the latest then apt should be used to fetch them (which is what MUD does).
