I'd find that pretty useless, or at least I don't see a value in such historic information. And we've a VCS to keep historic information of a package. http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/copyright-format/1.0/#source-field points at http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-docs#s-copyrightfile and that gives us "In addition, the copyright file must say where the upstream sources (if any) were obtained, .." Often it might feel a bit like a duplication of the homepage field in debian/control but especially in this case those two have very different content. One can of course deduce the right place to look at with the current value, but I don't think it's that useful The webserver even provides a directory listing with the full array of tarballs.
