Okay, I see what you're saying. We don't add new fields to Policy until they see use in the archive (for example, in #786470 we are discussing adding License-Grant: because it is already being used in some packages). So this bug should wait until at least a handful of packages are using the field. But secondly, you are surely not the first person to come across this issue. We need to determine how this has been handled before, and whether the ftp-masters have even permitted packages with the situation you describe into the archive. I'll leave this bug tagged moreinfo until the above are determined. Per the Policy Changes Process the bug may be closed if the info is not forthcoming in 30 days; don't be discouraged by this, because you can always file a new bug when - we have figured out what the best practice actually is here - some packages are using that best practice. -- Sean Whitton
