Just a clarification -- I don't think we are "competing" here ;) It is
more like "eagerly waiting to start using it". Alternative to the
dh_bibref tool for me would be just to get back to that little
http://git.debian.org/?p=pkg-exppsy/debian-bibliography.git;a=blob;hb=HEAD;f=tools/dbib_collect
and make it do the extraction/conversion from /upstream (which will be
under /usr/doc/PACKAGE/, right?)
indeed having dh_bibref sounds great... my only concern would be -- even
if it gets into official debhelper (is that the plan) -- we would need
to have it available also from some other package interim to use
this feature on existing Debian/Ubuntu releases while backporting
packages for NeuroDebian repository.
