Understandable and agreed. However, right now the page on author's
website is much more useful to Debian users than the GNU web page.

Getting input from upstream is a good idea, I expect they are waiting
on someone in the FSF/GNU to be able to update the GNU web page.

Perhaps for the next upload you could use the page on the author's
website and switch it over to the GNU one when that gets updated?
