+=head1 NAME
+
+deb-origin - Vendor-specific information files
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+B<%PKGCONFDIR%/origins/>I<filename>
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+The files in B<%PKGCONFDIR%/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
+‘B<#>’.
+Each field begins with a tag, such as B<Vendor> or B<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 (‘B<->’), and the file
+can have the same casing as the value in B<Vendor> field, or it can
+be capitalized.
