Bug#78012: Origin and Bugs headers proposal
[cc'd to Nicolás and Wichert since they are probably the most
interested parties & I dunno if they monitor -policy.]
What is the status of this proposal? Are we still undecided on its
merits or do we just lack patches to the policy and packaging manuals
to codify it?
If we don't have consensus on this approach, maybe Nicolás'
implementation of the concept within the package itself (rather than
in the package control file) is appropriate; see
/usr/doc/bug/README.developers for a description.
FWIW both methods are implemented by reportbug, so neither is that
hard to do... I guess it's a tradeoff between Packages bloat and
littering small files in a directory. Unless anyone else has a
proposal...
