The next version of lintian will not warn about Homepage headers in
packages and will warn (at the info level for right now) about Homepage
pseudo-headers in the extended description.

I'm still not sure that the original patch in this bug report (trying to
guess at whether a random URL found in the extended description should be
a homepage) is really a good idea.
