Hello
I've just seen this in the d-d-a news. Norbert, do you want to add this in to
the control file for the upcoming upload?
bye,

Vcs-* fields in debian/control
------------------------------
If your package is managed in a VCS, you should indicate where the
repository is located in the Vcs-<Kind> field. If the content of the
repository can be browsed on the web, you should indicate the URL in the
Vcs-Browser field.
The fields officially supported by dpkg are:
* Vcs-Arch (arch and baz)
* Vcs-Bzr (bazaar)
* Vcs-Cvs
* Vcs-Darcs
* Vcs-Git
* Vcs-Hg (Mercurial)
* Vcs-Mtn (Monotone)
* Vcs-Svn (Subversion)
Here are some examples:
Vcs-Browser: http://ikiwiki.info/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/trunk/?root=ikiwiki
Vcs-Svn: svn://svn.kitenet.net/ikiwiki/trunk
This was implemented in dpkg 1.14.6.
