While implementing the maemo.org packages interface, I wanted to add a link to the bugtracker for a package or project. Eventually integrating bug reporting/searching, but more on that later. As all information is gathered from the debian packages themselves, it would make sense to have the bugtracker URL available in the control file.
There doesn't seem to be a default field in debian control files for and URL of the bugtracker which the project is using. Therefor I want to propose introducing the XSBC-Bugtracker field.
XSBC-Bugtracker:
The URL of the bugtracker for this package, preferably (when applicable) the URL where you can directly file a bug. The content of this field is a simple URL without any surrounding characters such as <>.
Example:
By putting the bugtracker URL inside the package, people always have a way to find out where to file bugs. This could even be used for filing bugs through an application interface or crash reporter in the future.Code:XSBC-Bugtracker: https://bugs.maemo.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Wormux
When this feature is accepted, it should be added to the Packaging Policy too.
Please let me know what you think.

Niels,
Please post the proposal on maemo-developers. That is where the developers, who are the ones who would have to implement this, live!
Persoanlly I have no objection but I know that the several times this has been discussed before there has been disagreement about how to achieve this goal.

Hmm. I tried adding an Xsbc-Bugtracker: line to a package (in the Source: section of the control file).
dh_builddep issued a warning (which was repeated for each binary package):
And the field appeared as Bugtracker: in the .deb.
Is this as expected? I would have thought it should have been copied unchanged to the packages or, at least, that it would have retained the X- prefix.
I'm not keen on having every build produce several warnings from dh_buildep. Is there any other way to do this?
