Those fields are not accepted by dpkg contrary to the Vcs-* ones. So they shouldn't be documented IMO. And I don't like the idea to clutter the control file with such upstream information which always require an upload for any update/change. After that you want an URL with screenshot and and and … It is bad idea that looks good because it seems similar to the current one. I would prefer people to work on an external repository of meta-information about source packages: http://wiki.debian.org/CRMI The Homepage field is the exception as it is the entry point to find out any other upstream related information. I suggest tagging this bug wontfix or simply closing it if the idea doesn't get more support.
