Hey,
I raised this issue on #debian-boot (irc), and was told that the
concerns by "(a d-i maintainer | someone who was willing to express an
opinion" were correct. Frans Pop from the debian-installer team verified
that the Homepage field should not be included in the udeb:

Homepage Field in udebs?
20:11 < mejo> fjp: i mean on [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[...]
20:12 < fjp> mejo: Please file a bug against dpkg-dev.
20:14 < fjp> mejo: Russ is correct: we don't want the homepage field in
the control file of udebs
If nobody has any objections, i'll follow Frans' advice and file a bug
against dpkg-dev.
greetings,
jonas
