Is this created in debian/control by the maintainer, or should it be inserted
at package build time by an automated tool? Indeed, couldn't all fields be
inserted at package build time? Or are you advocating having different debian
dirs depending on what origin you are building for?
I could definately see where you do 'dpkg-buildpackage -O debian' or
'dpkg-buildpackage -O corel'

Limiting it to mailto? If you are using a url, then you don't need to -Style,
as the url can contain the type.
debbugs:submit@bugs.debian.org
jitterbug:http://bugs.kaffe.org

Where was the consensus reached, saying this should be done? I'm willing to
read -archives about it, if someone tells me the list, and the date range.
