Hi Guido,

What is the rationale behind that note?
This documents current practice (I documented what I found when looking into getting packages into PureOS proper).
If you think it's a bad idea just
- make a proposal (e.g. drop, change to XSBC-*) on tracker.pureos.net.
- if there's a discussion let's find consensus
- if there's no discussion even better (i'd wait for >2w for feedback)
- adjust the documentation
- close the issue
thanks, so there is no hard reasoning for the current state.
I'll follow your suggestion within the next days, the mentioned solution is btw. the best way to get this done I think.

Hey :-) I'm late to the party, but there actually is/was a rationale for keeping the Uploaders field intact: It's simply that we don't need to modify it for PureOS as all packages are effectively team-maintained by PureOS developers anyway, and by changing it there would be one more thing to amend and one more delta to Debian to take care of. So leaving it as-is is just a convenience/laziness issue ;-)
I have no feelings in either direction for changing the status quo (if we do, having a tool like Ubuntu's update-maintainer[1] would be nice though...)
Cheers, Matthias

Thanks for the historical insight, Matthias.
I certainly think that we should provide accurate information - and as a minimum we should comply with Debian Policy which defines the Uploaders field as containing...
List of the names and email addresses of co-maintainers of the package
https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-controlfields.html#uploaders
I.e. I find it misleading for that field to contain email addresses of *upstream* co-maintainers.

Sorry, unintended: I was genuinely baffled and checked multiple times if I had somehow missed your email at my end.
