I prefer to omit Origin and interpret a missing-Origin-with-Author-present as a Debian patch. Adding a URL (pointing where - to a webinterface of a VCS?) seems cumbersome, and just stating in some way that the origin is Debian or the person who wrote the patch/put in into the package seems like a duplication of information and effort.
