Hi, Thanks for working on this. It will be great to have a framework to add the hooks that we want. However, I'm not sure the way vendor detection is currently done covers all of the cases. Consider an Ubuntu developer that wishes to make a QA upload to Debian. They can prepare the package and request sponsorship for an upload to Debian. Most will build the source package on Ubuntu, and then test in a Debian chroot. Under the current scheme this would mean that the Ubuntu vendor hooks were applied, though the package is targeted at Debian. Inferring the vendor from the target distribution would make this case work without a vendor override. I'm not sure that inferring the vendor is entirely feasible. At the least Colin pointed out that some derivatives of Debian may also use "unstable" etc. as targets.
