Yes, but we also plan to auto-add the Origin and Bugs field to all .deb
based on the information in /etc/dpkg/origins/default. Though it would
require some other changes:
- have those fields dropped from Packages files (to avoid an unnecessary
size increase in official Packages files)
- have dak check those fields (would avoid packages built on ubuntu being
uploaded in debian)
