So fix the wording... and don't change everything when there has been some
serious discussion on -devel and when lots of packages have started using
this convention already.

Please, no. The Debian source package is not meant as a source of generic
meta-information of the upstream project.
If you really want to make this kind of information available, you'd
rather work on something useful for this like the collaborative repository
of meta-information:

(which might be implemented within mole http://wiki.debian.org/mole)
