Nice picture, but that's the openmoko-bof :)

:)
Therefore a unique id (like dh-make-perl version or svn revision)
might be easier.

Yup, could work.
But then we'd need to keep the checksums somewhere (unless we only
want to know if they are current or not).

That of course works but having something like
Copyright: the contributors, cf. changelog.Debian.gz
License: $superset of ...
might be more convenient.

And/or just commit them.

IMO the howto directory is fine but if someone wants to add links

Good point.
And fortunately it's in packagecheck since quite some time :)

Nothing?
(Except adding a commented out /dist/ line to d/watch so that
packagecheck doesn't try to create one. But I think at the moment all
