Re: Bug#995616: dh-make: create debian/upstream/medatada template

[Craig Small <csmall@dropbear.xyz>]

Hi Romain,

  It was more that the main system [1] that used this data seemed to be offline as well as the debian med one [2] too.

If these fields are important to someone then I'm happy to add that file, it's more that it will actually be used by someone somewhere.

For the website being down, see:
https://lists.debian.org/debian-qa/2014/06/msg00022.html

This is mentioned at the top of the wiki page [1]:

The requirement is still there and independent of the website working or
not in my opinion: lintian will check for it, and DDs will also check
for its presence during code review of packages from mentorees (my
case). Adding debian-qa in Cc of this answer if further clarification is
needed.

Best regards,

Romain.
