What do you mean by non-article citation? I'm not sure whether I
understand your proposal? Could you fake some simple example?

With the current table layout for references in UDD the query for
multiple citations becomes *very* complex and I intend to change the
table layout. I will need some time for it. Once I can reasonably
fetch more than one citation we could discuss the display - but for now
we need to delay this. Once I've found a better querying mechanism I'll
come up with a layout suggestion and we can discuss / enhance this.

I'm not very motivated to fix the old (not-working any more) mechanism
to get "Published-In" working again. It was invented to circumvent even
more tags in the tasks files and was summarising some fields which are
now specified in a more detailed way. Re-enabling this old way would
mean either way more complex script or template code. I do not want to
do this just to make something I want to go away working again. It is
way less work to convert those few publications to debian/upstream -
even if I would need to do all this on my own. I would (strongly)
advise to rather use debian/upstream instead.
Kind regards
Andreas.
