debian/upstream file format (Was: blend tasks keywords)

[CCed originally PM to debian-science because not private and potentially
 interesting for others as a summary of what was said about citations
 here before.]

Seems we did made even to less noise about this in all the bibliography
related mails on debian-science@l.d.o. :-)

I also prepared a very simple template with all fields you need for a
citation

   http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/debian-med/trunk/package_template/upstream?view=markup

(details below are optional and can be simply left out).  If you want
to specify more than one citation per package you find an example here:

   http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=debian-med/ncbi-tools6.git;a=blob;f=debian/upstream

Note:  The "Debian-Package" field is to *restrict* the citation to
a binary package (otherwise a citation belongs to the whole source).
 
Kind regards

       Andreas.
