deb-origin - Vendor-specific information files

<H2>SYNOPSIS</H2>
<B>/etc/dpkg/origins/</B><I>filename</I>
<A NAME="lbAD">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
The files in <B>/etc/dpkg/origins</B> can provide information about
various vendors who are providing Debian packages.
<P>
They contain a number of fields, or comments when the line starts with
'<B>#</B>'.
Each field begins with a tag, such as <B>Vendor</B> or <B>Parent</B>,
followed by a colon and the body of the field. Fields are delimited
only by field tags. In other words, field text may be multiple lines
in length, but the tools will join lines when processing the body of
the field.
<P>
The file should be named according to the vendor name.
The usual convention is to name the vendor file using the vendor name
in all lowercase, but some variation is permitted.
Namely, spaces are mapped to dashes ('<B>-</B>'), and the file
can have the same casing as the value in <B>Vendor</B> field, or it can
be capitalized.
