how to tell where the source came from inside a package?

[graysky]

I would like to know where the files within the ttf-droid package came from. In other words, what is their upstream source?

http://packages.ubuntu.com/oneiric/all/ttf-droid/filelist

My search cited this as the upstream url . http://code.google.com/android/

THanks, but doesn't the packager document the location of source files on Ubuntu? Arch linux does this in the PKGBUILD. For example:


pkgname=htop
pkgver=1.0
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="Interactive process viewer"
arch=('i686' 'x86_64')
url="http://htop.sourceforge.net/"
license=('GPL')
depends=('ncurses')
makedepends=('python2')
optdepends=('lsof' 'strace')
options=('!emptydirs')
changelog=ChangeLog
source=(http://downloads.sourceforge.net/${pkgname}/${pkgname}-${pkgver}.tar.gz)
md5sums=('325112ca7947ea1f6d6441f631e00384')

You can clearly see where the upstream package came from...
