We already decided on `Origin'. Vendor is a misnomer since not everyone
who builds packages

Hi,
This will *NOT* wprk. Most distributions based on Debian are
unlikely to repackage the debs -- they just mirror and

Package: debian-policy

control field to all packages and make Corel use 'Distro: corel'.
