Dear Maintainer,
When calling dh_make on a new project, the file
`debian/upstream/metadata` is not created by default.
This results in raising the upstream-metadata-file-is-missing
experimental tag [1] in lintian:
X: mypkg source: upstream-metadata-file-is-missing
- From my experience, upstream metadata files [2] are *strongly suggested*
during package creation, even if the lintian tag is still marked as
experimental.
My proposal is that a template for `debian/upstream/metadata` should
be created when invoking `dh_make`. This template could contain
most-used flags:
Bug-Database: <upstream bug repository URL>
Repository: <URL to clone upstream repository>
Repository-Browse: <URL to browse upstream repository via HTTP(S)>
After this is done, lintian flag(s) can be created in order to detect
this templated values:
E: mypkg source: debian-upstream-metadata-is-dh_make-template
W: mypkg source: debian-upstream-metadata-has-dh_make-boilerplate
If necessary, I can try to help in the implementation of this new
feature.
Best regards.
