            "content": "The files in /etc/dpkg/origins can provide information about various vendors who are\nproviding Debian packages.\n\nThey contain a number of fields, or comments when the line starts with ‘#’.  Each field\nbegins with a tag, such as Vendor or Parent, followed by a colon and the body of the field.\nFields are delimited only by field tags. In other words, field text may be multiple lines in\nlength, but the tools will join lines when processing the body of the field.\n\nThe file should be named according to the vendor name.  The usual convention is to name the\nvendor file using the vendor name in all lowercase, but some variation is permitted.  Namely,\nspaces are mapped to dashes (‘-’), and the file can have the same casing as the value in\nVendor field, or it can be capitalized.\n",

It can be a mailto URL or a debbugs URL (e.g.,\ndebbugs://bugs.debian.org/).\n\nParent: vendor-name\nThe value of this field determines the vendor name of the vendor that this vendor derives\nfrom.\n",
