The tracker.debian.org pages are autogenerated from package contents.
We (as package maintainers) can't do manual edits of these pages.

If you would like to see additional information about the package
start out by making sure the package in question contains the information.
The information you're interested in seems to fit into the
"debian/upstream/metadata" descriptions which you can find out more
about at https://wiki.debian.org/debian/upstream
Patches welcome!

I'm not sure if tracker.debian.org has support for "debian/upstream/metadata"
yet, but if not then feel free to hack the tracker sources and send
patches to the people running that service. (See bottom of webpage.)

Andreas Henriksson
