Besides upstream maintainer and upstream location also 'upstream
name' would be nice to have; it would allow a bi-directional mapping
between package names and upstream project names. We've had requests
from the CPANTS (Perl CPAN QA project) guys about such lists.

(Of course this doesn't have to be in debian/copyright technically.)
