For quite some time, we used to put the URL of the upstream project in the description itself. The recommended way is now to put it in the new "Homepage" field in the source stanza of the control file.

It's possible to override the Homepage field for each a specific binary package by putting a second Homepage field in the corresponding binary stanza in the control file. === Example of news ===
