No. Since debtags are imported into Packages/Sources, it shouldn't be hard to do the same as debtags for other Packages/Sources fields too. I would guess it would also be possible to use values from packages for most of them and then add overrides that would be used until the value from the package changes. For watch files there was the sepwatch alioth project, but that is no longer used since watch file processing was moved to udd. https://wiki.debian.org/qa.debian.org/HowToHelpWithFixingWatchFiles The same approach could be used for other fields, a git repository containing the overrides, which is imported by ftp-master and merged into the package information, which is then exported to the archive. -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
