Thank you for the bug report.

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.

Thanks,
