Do we need so much information? I wondered if the raw data (list of codename, current codename) should not be part of the vendors files in /etc/dpkg/origins/* (so part of base-files). The downside is that you would not get all ubuntu codenames in Debian but Ubuntu would have all Debian codenames and all Ubuntu codenames (unless Debian includes the Ubuntu vendor file). On the plus side, you would be able use dpkg-vendor to query the data and base-files is already a package that has to be updated for each release anyway. And there's a perl API ready to use to query the vendor information. Cheers, -- Raphaël Hertzog Like what I do?
