I am not sure I agree with the hardcoding of those values unless they
create legal issues like license violations or the risk of criminal
prosecution. How about we repurpose the classification tag
'upstream-metadata-field-present' to also provide the field contents,
which is what you are after?

You could then use Lintian's query interface to examine the values to
your liking.

Kind regards
