Dear all,
I think that the issue of managing package metadata goes beyond homepage and
registration, I propose to start a discussion on the subject on debian-devel,
and to fall back on using the debian/control file if this discussion is not
fruitful.
The key problem is that the metadata can evolve independantly of the source
code, and that updating the binary packages just for changing URLs is not
suitable.
Have a nice week-end,
