Please can this 'trend' be stopped here and now? The Packages.gz file is already enormous (especially for Emdebian purposes or other low resource units) and adding yet more fields to debian/control is really not that friendly. Please use debtags wherever possible for all such metadata - maybe even migrate some existing data in debian/control to debtags. This specific request, IMHO, is probably best done via links on the Homepage URL anyway. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
