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
       various 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
       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 (`-'),	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
       Vendor: Debian
       Vendor-URL: https://www.debian.org/
       Bugs: debbugs://bugs.debian.org
