   how hard would it be to have the Packages pages on the Debian web site show the
   packages home URL, i.e. where the author is?  A few times I have been hunting
   for this because I needed a bsd or Sun version of a program.  Downloading the
   orig.tar.gz and looking inside can be cumbersome.

Perhaps the website could mirror the copyright file from each
package.  This contains the copyright notice from the source as well
as the upstream URL.
