debian/upstream::references:multiple_components
oki doki -- since it seems to be too quiet... let me start from an
attacking angle: by using debian/upstream as the container for
publication references we can't decouple separate components having
different publication references to use for different components,
neither shipped in separate binary packages or a single one (e.g. a
collection of datasets).
The only viable resolution as far as I see it to extend Reference
entry(ies) with e.g. "Files:" field which would contain a list of globs
to point to files as installed on the system by binary packages. But
that cross the line from upstream and source packages into the land of
binary packages... not sure how you guys would accept it.
Otherwise, without such specification, all the references are somewhat
useless e.g. in cases when there are multiple for completely different
components provided by any given source package.
