I think the good thing is that Petter's patch was quickly accepted while
bug #731340 filed by Simon Kainz is hanging in BTS since > 2 years (so I
even forgot about this when I asked for a YAML checker at the sprint).
Checking the actual issues reported by the checker:
elpa (2015.05.001-1) unstable; urgency=medium
...
[ Andreas Tille ]
* debian/upstream/metadata: Fix YAML syntax.

and
opengm (2.3.6+20160131-1) unstable; urgency=medium
...
[Andreas Tille]
* Avoid mixed quote signs in debian/upstream/metadata

so both were done since I was watching the logs of UDD importer from
time to time. I'm *really* happy that maintainers now get the
information straight before uploading and my workload will be reduced
in future. Thanks a lot to Petter.
Kind regards
Andreas.
