Ok, so just to be clear – you want something like a link to e.g. our
RoundCube svn repo, or a github repo, or sf, etc. where the source of the
package is located?

If so, I think there are two option:

1) Create a README and/or LICENSE file which contains the information and
install them with the 'doc' role.
2) Add the link to the package's <description>
