This is a blatant abuse of any Google juice this blog has picked up.

Every time I look for the definition of Vcs-Browser, Vcs-bzr, Vcs-cvs, Vcs-git, Vcs-hg, Vcs-hg, and Vcs-svn, it takes me forever to track it down.

In particular, searching for debian vcs-svn doesn’t actually find what I’m looking for. It took me running through a series of blog posts linking to forum posts linking to online list archives linking to Debian bugs to finally get the hint.

Now, for everybody’s sake, the information is not in Debian Policy, but rather in the Debian Developer’s Reference. Specifically, section 6.2.5.

Hopefully Google will pick this up and make searching for those fields easier. But even if it doesn’t, at least I know that I have a blog post with the information.
