If you want to know where the upstream source comes from, debian/upstream/metadata or debian/copyright are the right places to look, not the Homepage. In some cases I would also make Homepage refer to the upstream VCS web view if there is no better page, but in this case I think the VCS web view is so user-hostile that it is not suitable. > Vcs-Git: https://git.decadent.org.uk/git/ministat.git/ > Vcs-Browser: https://git.decadent.org.uk/gitweb?p=ministat.git > > Furthermore, those Vcs-Git and Vcs-Browser links are dead. I moved the Debian packaging repository to <https://salsa.debian.org/benh/ministat> years ago, but I haven't yet had a reason to upload.
