In the absence of the complete picture about the problem with the status quo and how XSB-Url would fix that problem, I can only say that I've never encountered a packaging problem with having the homepage URL in the description so I don't think it should be changed. Also, would we need to change every package we touch to use the new field? That would be just yet another distraction - in my short time of packaging I've had to deal with a few changes to control file policy[0] and I'm tempted to say that if it would stop being a moving target and get stable for a while, packaging might be a bit more fun and easier to get right.
