Bug#339829: lintian wish 339829: check for homepages

thanks

I've attached a patch against lintian 1.23.14 that adds a check for the
correctness of the Homepage/webpage part of the package description. It
is by no means complete, but it is a reasonable check.

Basically it checks for one blank line, then a url at the end of the
description, and if it finds that then it checks it for conformance with
the best practice listed in the developers reference.

It also checks for cpan packages that link to a homepage with a version
in it. This is a really minor nitpick, but it is best to link the latest
release of cpan modules rather than an old one.
