That would work.

It'll allow me to filter which packages to work on (i.e.,
discover upstream URL's for) to try to get things moved over to the
new schema. Not knowing whether a package has an upstream URL or not
at all would add to the frustration, and perhaps lead to multiple
people hunting for non existent web pages.
Seems to me some way of distinguishing between these cases at
least in the transition period (and even beyond) has value.
