The > grab file has a syntax: I don't have objections (mainly because I don't know what a grab file is). More generally though I would like to know opinions about whether it would be the case to describe in the developers reference what is the appropriate (non-browse) url for a given VCS. For example, would it be appropriate to document there that for arch a grab file should be used? Alternatively the description in the devref should remain vague (something like "an url pointing to a resource allowing automatic download of a debian source package") and a best practice section (either in the devref or on the wiki) should be set up documenting how to deal with the various VCS.
