Hello Adam,
let me rephrase to see if I understood completely.
Let a package "foo", that contains the program "foo" that was published
by Bar in the Fooomics journal.
The Debian source package would contain a file named
foo-reference.doc-base in its debian directory. foo-reference.doc-base
would contain something like this:
Document: foo-reference
Title: Bibliographic information for foo
Section: Bibliography
Format: BibTeX
@book{foo-debian,
title = "Foo for the masses",
author = "Bar",
publisher = "Foomics journal",
year = "2029"
doi = 3.14159/foo_article
}
Users would first have to go to /usr/shar/doc-base by themselves, then some
time later we would update doc-base to generate something from the Format:
BibTeX entry, and in a third step we would implement a central bibliography
that can be easily used by reference managers and LaTeX articles.
Does it reflect your proposition ?
Have a nice day,
