Ahhh, now I've got it. From my point of view once we have broken the
"pure upstream data principle" with the Debian-Package field anyway I
can not see a reason why we should not go into further detail. I have
no idea how you actually want to *use* the data you want to inject into
d/upstream, but that's no reason for me to stop you injecting it. You
might want to send me a patch for the UDD importer in case you want the
data in UDD as well.
Kind regards
Andreas.
