Bug#489135: debian-policy: how to document a repackaged .orig.tar.gz

Package: debian-policy
Severity: wishlist

Not so long ago the Developer's Reference explained how a repackaged
upstream tarball must be documented in debian/README.Debian-source.  Now
the Developer's Reference states that this must be documented in
debian/copyright.

developers-reference 3.4.0 :
file:///usr/share/doc/developers-reference/best-pkging-practices.html#bpp-origtargz

        "must contain detailed information how the repackaged source was
        obtained, and how this can be reproduced in the
        debian/copyright."

Please consider moving this information to debian-policy.
