I saw something in libbio-asn1-entrezgene-perl from David that looks exactly like what we need: Homepage: http://search.cpan.org/dist/Bio-ASN1-EntrezGene/ This is simply perfect - version neutral, *author*-neutral, can be used both as a Homepage in d/control and upstream URL in d/copyright. Perhaps even in d/watch! And, this is what the "permalink" link pints to so it looks reliable. I am going to make dh-make-perl use that. -- dam JabberID: dam@jabber.minus273.org
