I have already thought about this case and would like to introduce a
new property
uris [or urls] in apt.package.Version, so you can use
package.candidate.uris[0] to get an
URI.
I will reply again with some code you can use until this is
implemented, but in the long run,
this has to be in python-apt itself.
