Not really, being the PTS the only piece of software considering the field it would be enough to document the non X- version and support both in the PTS. I will be strict in what I document and relaxed in what I accept :-) > Debian might be able to do this in a coordinated manner, but usually, > it's better to just omit the X- prefix from the spart. My doubt was on the line: "who am I to suggest a non X- field to be added to Sources files"? If no one has objections on the field XS-Vcs-XXX-Url I will add support for it and document its usage (without the "X-". So, poll time: does anyone see a problem about recommending a XS-Vcs-XXX-Url field with semantics "URL pointing to an XXX version control repository", intended to be informative for users about where to find latest source version of a given package?
