I dont know if this has been asked before, but one thing I notice which is missing from .deb's is a field for a package's homepage URL. This was a nice thing with gentoo ebuilds, in that there was a homepage field for each package, so it was nice and easy for me to cut and paste to firefox and check out the homepage of a package I was interested in. I know most will say just google for the answer and you will probably find the project's homepage pretty quickly, but this still very handy, plus I could be sure I was going to the correct project homepage.
Does anyone know why this is missing from Debian? I am sure about 99% of packages out there have a homepage, and if there are any that don't I am sure they will have a generic entry on freshmeat.net/packagename which could be listed. Sure most of the packages will end up being packagename.sourceforge.net, but this would still be helpful. Any thoughts? Stefhen
