Something I think should be documented somewhere, are tracked in some 
other distros package trackers, easier to add on adoption, and useful 
when you want to submit bug reports upstream.
Defining then as shell vars mean you can use them for searching or in 
commands.
I recently audited my packages and there are still a dozen or so lacking 
that information that I will work on adding.
