Sure. It's even implemented and documented [1].

Well, we have pkgname[0]+'/'+pkgname+'.html' - that's cheap enough.

The only question I have is where exactly would you place this link and
how would you call this in contrast to "Official Debian package" and how
can we make sure that people hit the right link which is interesting for
them. It's more an issue of usage of the tasks page problem than
anything else.

Ah, OK. Feel free to care for this. I like it but I will spend my time
only with proofreading on it. :-)

Yes. I agree.
The other (longer part of my answer) will be joined to the relevant thread
on debian-devel. Please join to clarify the interpretation of Enhances!
Kind regards
