At least 50% of the time I go to a package page, I'd like to be able to visit
the upstream homepage, if only to learn more about what it is. It would be
really nice to have a link right there, instead of having to google for it.

You should at least find the download location in the corresponding
copyright file, which is linked at the bottom of each page.
Maintainers are also free to include a upstream URL in their packages'
description.
But there is nothing more packages.d.o can do about it, I think.
Gruesse,
