Using tags to describe distribution patches, call for comments

Bonjour, monsieur,

I like the approach. I'll start using it in the future, too. Too bad
that I already merged all of my packages, but *shrug*, the next merge
cycle will come. :)

We could use a field "Origin:" for that, but I wouldn't like it to
become too specific. In general, if there is a Debian:/Upstream:
field, the patch should be there, too, either because we got it from
there in the first place, or we submitted it upstream. If neither
happened, then it is an Ubuntu specific change which should be
justified in the Rationale: field.

Thanks,

Martin
