The MR above has additional links and descriptions of current practices. I do not have a strong preference for a choice yet so feedback would be appreciated.

I've updated the merge request at [1] to replace the initial `<vendor>/<version>/<suite>` proposal with a more flexible `[<srcpkg>/][<version>/]<vendor>/<suite>` scheme that was suggested in the discussion on Salsa, e.g. instead of `debian/2/unstable` as per the initial proposal we may now have `foo2/debian/unstable` or just `2/debian/unstable`.

Pros: marginally less awkward (the package version is not sandwiched anymore between the vendor and suite), suitable for transition cases where a source package is cloned (renamed), suitable for the uncommon but real cases where source packages are merged (to import histories in the merged repository).

Cons: current usage is not as common as the initial proposal.

Your comments are welcome, either on this list or on the MR discussion on Salsa.

Cheers,
