Agreed, but fwiw I think that supporting "Homepage:" as requested in
this bug report is even more justified than supporting Vcs-* (and notice
that I actually proposed the latter).  In fact 'Homepage' is a
convention described in policy or devref (too lazy to check, sorry).

So, since it is widespread, it is more than reasonable to support it.

I'm totally in favor of using a less broken standard for that, but we
can easily start supporting the current state of the art, and then
support both the current syntax and the new one.

Thanks for your report Pierre,
Cheers.
