Indeed this is a mess. (I wouldn't count d/control Vcs-* though?) Has there been any work towards a single-file declarative file syntax to generate all the debian/ files? Except for debian/patches/ and debian/tests/ I think this could work. Compare rpm's *.spec or Homebrew files. This could be one step towards migration to a monolithic source git repository where all of Debian's debian/ files could be managed in a collaborative way. We don't strictly need that -- we could just import all debian/ sub-directories from all source packages into one monolithic git repository, and work together there -- but it would simplify syncing the same information in several files under debian/ and reduce the number of small files we have to manage. /Simon
