Upstream metadata is a Debian-originated project and I don't think it
makes sense for upstream to provide that data themselves.  At least it
doesn't make sense with the way the file only exists in the debian/
directory and we try to discourage upstream from shipping a debian
directory.

incompetent or malicious.
