Upgrading my own server to Squeeze, I've stumbled upon some stats that I've been maintaining for quite a while. One of them is about how Debian packages declare upstream homepage, by using either the old "Homepage" pseudo-header in package description or the new field as per policy §5.6.23, or both(!). Live data about that are available at [1].
The advantage of the new format is that it is uniformly handled by various services, such as the PTS and packages.d.o, and can be more uniformly extracted from package information. I hereby propose a mass bug filing, severity minor, requesting migration to the proper debian/control field. A dd-list is attached. Please let me know if you spot false positives. Cheers. PS lintian has a warning-level tag about that [2], which reports 250 packages vs 279 reported by my script. I'll check where the differences come from before actually reporting the bugs.
