Package: debian-policy
Severity: normal
Now that dpkg 1.7 has hit unstable and the first bugreporting tool
(reportbug) supports it I figured it was time to get this into
policy.
The basic idea of this is to have a way for packages to state
where they are coming from, and where bugreports for them should
be sent to. To do this two new tags are introduced in the control
file: Bugs and Origin.
Bugs indicate where bugreports should be sent to, and if supported
how bug information can be retrieved. The value of this field is
a URL, where the scheme indicated the type of BTS used and the
hostname tells where the BTS is hosted. Currently defined schemes
are:
* debbugs (for example debbugs://bugs.debian/org )
debbugs BTS as used by Debian and others. Bugs are submitted to
submit@<hostname> using Package, Version and Severity pseudo
headers. Bugreports can be viewed via http://<hostname>/<package>
* mailto (for example mailto:strace-devel@lists.wiggy.net )
Bugreports should be sent through email. Like with debbugs
pseudo-headers are used to provide extra information.
Origin gives a package a way to indicate where it is coming from.
This can be used to find information about its origin in
/etc/dpkg/origins/<origin>. The origin information file there
can list an Bugs field that overrides the Bugs field in the package
itself.

Hi,
These bugs are mostly about documenting optional parts of the
control file, and this should really be done in dpkg
documentation. Also, this is not quite yet customary practice, and
does not yet seem to be required. If people are interested in making
this into policy, and can come up with reasons that pass the test of
"why does it have to be mandated" as opposed to being added to an
overrides file centerally (I may want to create a package that I
upload to debian, but also keep in a local repo -- over rides files
handle that scenario), well, they can always file a new proposal.
