Bug#891080: Generate a skeleton of debian/upstream/metadata using upstream inst/CITATION

[Dylan Aïssi]

Package: dh-r
Severity: wishlist


Hi,

dh-make-R (and dh-update-R) could generate (and update) a
d/upstream/metadata file or at least a skeleton with relevant
information from the upstream inst/CITATION file. Lintian will now
emit an (experimental) tag when the metadata file is missing [1].

Best,
Dylan
