What about adding an explicit 'Key' field, e.g. Published-Key: IntroPaper or may be even (I guess uglier -- just throwing ideas) using the key within field name: Published-IntroPaper-Authors: ... Published-Method-Authors: Then bib entry could get an entry code as 'Package:Key' For the task pages, you can indeed take the first or the last entry > > ;-) > BTW, every developer is free to mention debian/upstream in debian/docs > for the moment - we just missed to do this.
