And until this might happen the Developer's Reference will keep
recommending to add the Upstream home page to the package's long
description, see
Developer's Reference -> 6 Best Packaging Practices ->
6.2 Best practices for debian/control -> 6.2.4 Upstream home page, at
<http://www.debian.org/doc/developers-reference/ch-best-pkging-practices.en.html#s-bpp-upstream-info>.

Cheers,
