Yes, I'm aware of that problem, it affects maemo as well. Initially,
just wanted to discuss one issue at a time, but I suppose we can go
for the whole thing.
For "specs" I would add a new syntax, which could be used by everyone
equally, even Debian could start using it if desired. Do launchpad specs
have a numeric value or are just strings? I suppose it does not matter
much anyway, the value could be just concatenated to the output field
in the .changes file, and the final knowledge about what to do with
that field is in dak or whatever archive software which is processing
the uploaded .changes files.
What about "Implements: foo" (or similar), a proper regex would have
to be defined, but you get the idea.
