Bug#449463: debian-policy: [PROPOSAL] New "upstream-bts" field in debian/control

[Francois Marier <francois@debian.org>]

Package: debian-policy
Version: 3.7.2.2
Severity: wishlist

I'd like to propose a new field for the control file: the location of the upstream bug tracker for the package.

I see two main advantages:
- allows users to easily find upstream bugs and file new ones directly if they want
- would enable the PTS to nicely integrate the upstream trackers

I'm not sure what to call this field though. Maybe "External-Bug-Tracker"?
