Dear Yaroslav,
I really think that this information should be in another file. So far, we have
packages in our archive that contain it in debian/reference, debian/references
or debian/upstream-metadata.yaml.
http://wiki.debian.org/DebianScience/References
http://wiki.debian.org/UpstreamMetadata
Also, I am working on loading the same bibliographic information in the UDD. I
completed tests on an off-line copy, and the code is already in the SVN sources
of the UDD. In the short term, I am lacking time to do what is necessary to
get the data loaded for real, but I hope I can work on this in December.
Would you be interested in this approach ?
Have a nice day,
