Currently there's already several possible places this information can
be listed, adding yet another one does not help matters. There's also
proposals around to unify upstream information in a single place, either
in a new control file or on an external place. Also adding upstream
information to the control files seems like polluting them, as they
only contain packaging metadata.

I don't think this is a good idea, so if there's no overwhelming
consensus in the project that this is desired, I'll be closing the
bug report in a bit.

Thanks,
Guillem
