As suggested by Ciaran and Serkan, this could also be achieved with
per-package eclasses [1].
That way, it would be easy to avoid duplication of not only HOMEPAGE but
also SRC_URI, LICENSE, or any other part of an ebuild.
In fact, this idea is already being used in the tree in the form of bash
scripts in ${FILESDIR} that are source'd in the ebuild [2].
