Keeping an upstream git URL somewhere



Hello,

I think it'd be nice to have a reference to the upstream git
repository in all Debian packages we maintain, so that one can just
use “debcheckout $foo $foo.git” to get the Debian packaging, and then
“tiny-shell-wrapper” to perform “git remote add upstream $url”.

I'm not sure we want that in debian/control (even though an X… in
front of it the field could help keeping it out of the Packages and
Sources files); an alternative could be storing that in a comment in
debian/watch.

(I guess we could also provide some .mrconfig file with all debian
packages we maintain, so that one could easily have the same dir/repo
layout locally. I might look at it later on.)

Thoughts?

Mraw,
KiBi.
