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. -- http://fam-tille.de
