Re: debian/upstream::references:multiple_components
Hi Yaroslav,
we do just have the key "Debian-Package" which for instance is used in
ncbi-tools6 source d/upstream file. IMHO this exactly addresses what
you want to address with "Files". And yes, it leaves the strict
"upstream" land ... but we somehow need this.
Did I missunderstood you?
Kind regards
Andreas.
