No, the ftp-masters insist on having the upstream source location in
debian/copyright (and the Homepage field in debian/control is mere
informational and could be different from the download location,
too).

I usually leave the stuff at the top but remove the "Add commands to

If you have binary packages in your repo than keeping the changelog
(and warning potentail uploaders that they have to build with
-v$first_version) is of course ok.
