However, right now the page on author's website is much more useful to Debian users than the GNU web page. > I have contacted upstream and asked them which homepage they would like > the Debian package to point users to.

Getting input from upstream is a good idea, I expect they are waiting on someone in the FSF/GNU to be able to update the GNU web page. Perhaps for the next upload you could use the page on the author's website and switch it over to the GNU one when that gets updated?

The decision to use the gnu.org URL was made consciously: poke is a GNU official project, and as such I think it is more correct to direct the user to the GNU project's home page. Having said that, I agree that ideally that page should contain everything related to poke without redirecting the user to another URL. I have contacted upstream and asked them which homepage they would like the Debian package to point users to. My understanding is that they want to make the gnu.org page the official one, but I may be wrong.
