A rose is a rose is a rose (Gertrude Stein) and I have the feeling, a

This is not the question. Debian provides a database and it is a
question, which information should go in this database (BTW, I'm not a
programmer; I as an user would like to have such information in the
database).
Dimitri> or you can use archie to track it down.
No, archie does not provide the address of a package's _primary_ site.

It makes life more comfortable; try BOGUS for a while, and you will see,
how pleasant it is ;-)

No, for me `dpkg' is a package maintenace tool and besides, it is
advanced! That's the reason why I cry for more. Thanks for the time,
