I agree this would be nice, as well as upstream author.
What I do as a maintainer is put that info in the copyright file
along with the `It was downloaded from ftp://' info; e.g the
xtide package: http://cgi.debian.org/cgi-bin/get-copyright?package=xtide
You can always try that since you can access the copyright file
from the Debian web page for the package. It it's not listed,
sometimes you can guess the URL from the ftp download site.
