Hi, I recently started adding debian/upstream/metadata files to my packages, mostly documenting the basic properties such as the name of the upstream contact, the VCS repository, any FAQs or mailing lists, and similar. Now here's a question: should I try to do that for native packages, too? It seems a bit weird, since most of the fields actually duplicate the data from debian/control (e.g. Maintainer, Vcs-Git, Vcs-Browser) and the ones that do not ought to contain some quite constant generic info (e.g. Bug-Database may be something like https://bugs.debian.org). So... what do people think about this - are upstream metadata files relevant for native packages at all?
