I am not tracking the latest development in the Debian project.

Could you give me a little more context about
what you call "current standards" ?

(It is defined in Debian Policy, or accepted as DEP-*, etc.)

For example, as for "3/7: machine-readable debian/copyright",
it is DEP-5, and can be mentioned in the commit log
for clarification.

What is the rationale for "2/7: debian/upstream/metadata" ?


Ben:
If possible, could you take a look at this series?
