There's going to be some conflict on this patch as we should also rename
XS-Vcs-* to Vcs-* in the whole document.
Otherwise I agree that we should recommend the usage of Homepage. And
apart from the remark above, your patch looks mostly ok.
BTW, I created http://wiki.debian.org/DeveloperNews with the intent
to collect small updates like this one and send them by batch to d-d-a.
Andreas ? Can I commit this update ? (BTW, you haven't responded to
http://lists.debian.org/debian-ctte/2007/09/msg00037.html)
Cheers,
