Package: libdpkg-perl Version: 1.16.7 Severity: wishlist Debian is now shipping an /etc/os-release file and this file can provide all the information that /etc/dpkg/origins/* files can provide. See http://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/os-release.html for the various fields that are supported and in particular ID_LIKE, HOME_URL and BUG_REPORT_URL.
To be able to retrieve information from all the parents, the various os-release files can be stored in /etc/os-release.d/<id> and /etc/os-release could become a symlink. Dpkg::Vendor should thus be updated to be able to use those (cross-distro standardized) files when they exist so that we can deprecate the debian-specific /etc/dpkg/origins/*.
