Upgrading my own server to Squeeze, I've stumbled upon some stats that
I've been maintaining for quite a while. One of them is about how Debian
packages declare upstream homepage, by using either the old "Homepage"
pseudo-header in package description or the new field as per policy
§5.6.23, or both(!). Live data about that are available at [1].
The advantage of the new format is that it is uniformly handled by
various services, such as the PTS and packages.d.o, and can be more
uniformly extracted from package information.
I hereby propose a mass bug filing, severity minor, requesting migration
to the proper debian/control field. A dd-list is attached. Please let
me know if you spot false positives.
Cheers.
PS lintian has a warning-level tag about that [2], which reports 250
packages vs 279 reported by my script. I'll check where the
differences come from before actually reporting the bugs.
