Because we already have a documented convention for how a Homepage
should be specified in a debian/control, we didn't have such a
convention for version control systems. For how broken it can be it is a
convention which is there, and it won't be easy nor fast to change it.
We can propose a better convention, but I don't see why we shouldn't
support the current one.
Cheers.
