Thanks for your explanation, that clarifies things for me.

Will do so.

I  think an archive.org address gives the impression of an abandoned
project. Furthermore, if I check an upstream URL that's often because
I'm looking for solutions to current problems, while general
documentation is normally found sufficiently in /usr/share/doc. Of
course even with an outdated archive.org URL I may easily switch to a
newer version - it's just not obvious that newer versions exists as long
as I only look at the package's homepage field.

Maybe use the real homepage and mention archive.org in a README.Debian.
Or update the archive.org address (preferably with every release) and
eventually mention the real homepage in a README.Debian.

Note: Unfortunately the Homepage field is defined [1] to contain only
one URL, nothing else.
