Package: python-mini-buildd
Version: 1.0.7
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

in the generated reprepro configuration, Origin is set to something
like "Mini-Buildd archive zg on spinturn.zugschlus.de" as opposed to
the rather terse "Debian" in the normal Debian archives. This leads to
pin lines like

Pin: release n=sid-test-unstable, o=Mini-Buildd archive zg on 
spinturn.zugschlus.de

which is like asking for trouble in my opinion regarding the spaces in
the origin value. Do I need to quote the string? Do I need to quote
the spaces? Will it work when the "o=" part is not last in the line?
Will it work when I use an additional space before the comma
separating the next pin item in the pin line?

All this could be avoided by using a much shorter default value for
Origin, or making the Origin configurable. As far as I understand the
new mini-buildd logic, this field should be part of the "distribution"
object inside mini-buildd's configuration.

Greetings
Marc
