Sure. So, to summarize, we have the following options:
1. The references are added to the long description
2. The references are added to Packages via a new X-* field
3. The references are added to debian/copyright
4. The references are supplied in a file under ./debian and
installed in a common location (via debhelper or other methods)
1. in an already widely-used bibliographic format
2. in a RFC822 format that is converted to other formats on
installation
To me, only 4) is an option, and I prefer to go the 4.1 route.
Thanks for sumarizing these options. My opinion about these options
is not that strong. I admit I can understand your motivation for your
preference. I do not really want to use this as an argument but I
would just want to note that your prefered choice is the option that
makes the implementation on the tasks page the hardest amongst all
the options. I do not see this as an unresolvable problem but it delays
the implementation the most.
Kind regards
Andreas.
