It isn't. It's written by a Debian developer and used by Debian, but you
won't find any information about it on www.debian.org and it's not released
by Debian (though the code is hosted using Debian resources).

The download page is what should go in the copyright file, yes. But
"www.debian.org" isn't really suitable as either a homepage URL or a
download URL for devotee; www.debian.org is not a homepage for the *devotee*
project.
And historically, we didn't have Homepage fields in debian/control anyway;
the "URL" field in the ITP template is meant to give people a way to get at
the original sources.
