True.  Sorry for beeing to short (I wrongly assumed that this knowledge
is widely spread).

*Which* file needs to be altered *how*?

debian/control

The Homepage field can be added anywhere in the source section.  Perhaps
you prefer a different position according your personal taste, but the
attachment contains a valid patch.

We had
several competing proposals for encoding this in the past.  Which won?

Developers reference section 6.2.4.
BTW, you might find Section 6.2.5 interesting as well in case the packaging
is maintained in a version control system.  In the end is a complete example
also for Homepage.

Kind regards and thanks for maintaining R

My pleasure.

:)

Andreas.
