Hey,

I raised this issue on #debian-boot (irc), and was told that the concerns by "(a d-i maintainer | someone who was willing to express an opinion" were correct. Frans Pop from the debian-installer team verified that the Homepage field should not be included in the udeb:

20:11 < mejo> fjp: did you see Russ's response to my question regarding

              Homepage Field in udebs?
20:11 < mejo> fjp: i mean on debian-devel@lists.d.o [...]
20:12 < fjp> mejo: Please file a bug against dpkg-dev. 20:14 < fjp> mejo: Russ is correct: we don't want the homepage field in

             the control file of udebs

If nobody has any objections, i'll follow Frans' advice and file a bug against dpkg-dev.

greetings,
 jonas
