Reading the instructions on the Jmol page, it is clear to me that they want that, when cited in an academic manuscript, their work appears as "Jmol: an open-source Java viewer for chemical structures in 3D. http://www.jmol.org/"; in the reference list. Reference managers like Bibus or the proprietary EndNote are able to follow this requirement, as they give a class to the reference information (article, book, etc.). In the case of Jmol, I think that this is exactly the information that should be in the first reference recorded in debian/upstream. I have never thought that field differently. If you want to record the class of the reference through the use of a different field (Reference for books and articles, Cite-As for URLs), why not, but I recommend to first check if the BibTeX format, which defines the sub-fields in the Reference fied, is able to manage this directly. See also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microattribution for a broader point of view on academic citations.
