NAME
     deb-origin - Vendor-specific information files

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/local/etc/dpkg/origins/filename

DESCRIPTION
     The files in /usr/local/etc/dpkg/origins can provide information about var-
     ious vendors who are providing Debian packages.

     They contain a number of fields, or comments when the line starts with `#'.
     Each field begins with a tag, such as Vendor or Parent, 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.

     The file should be named according to the vendor name.  The  usual  conven-
     tion is to name the vendor file using the vendor name in all lowercase, but
     some  variation  is  permitted.  Namely, spaces are mapped to dashes (`-'),
     and the file can have the same casing as the value in Vendor field,  or  it
     can be capitalized.

FIELDS
     Vendor: vendor-name (required)
	    The value of this field determines the vendor name.

     Vendor-URL: vendor-url
	    The value of this field determines the vendor URL.

     Bugs: bug-url
	    The  value	of this field determines the type and address of the bug
	    tracking system used by this vendor. It can be a  mailto  URL  or  a
	    debbugs URL (e.g., debbugs://bugs.debian.org/).

     Parent: vendor-name
	    The  value	of  this  field determines the vendor name of the vendor
	    that this vendor derives from.

EXAMPLE
