I have a package that is on github and has a homepage, with the server
having the homepage being kind of broken so that it doesn't deliver the
page for all clients. The github page doesn't refer to the real
homepage.
I am therefore tempted to ignore the "real" homepage and set the
Homepage field to the github page here.
I need to note that this is usually the correct way, because it's
often hard (sometimes impossible) to get the upstream source from the
"real" homepage, especially when one wants a VCS and not tarballs.
It's safe to assume, on the other hand, that a VCS has a prominent
link to a "real" homepage if that exists and is useful.
