Bug#981932: lintian: warn about packages using PyPI pages in the Homepage field



Package: lintian
Version: 2.104.0
Severity: wishlist

Please warn about packages using PyPI pages in the Homepage field.

PyPI is a packaging system just as Debian is a packaging system and
each PyPI package has a Homepage link that points at the upstream
homepage. Debian packages should point at the upstream homepage rather
than the page for other packaging systems like PyPI.

There are two forms of Homepages that are used, the first of these is
the current one, and the second one is the old one and it redirects to
the current one.

https://pypi.org/project/<name>/
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/<name>/

According to the Debian Code Search service 100 packages are affected:
