That's a good point. I think we can solve this by: * Showing the description of the most recent versions of each binary package, produced by that source package, on the source package page. I reported this as a bug a few months ago. <https://launchpad.net/bugs/73116> For example, <https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/netspeed/0.13-1ubuntu1> shows netspeed's binary package description, which already includes the netspeed home page URL. * Auto-linking the URLs in package descriptions. I've just reported this. <https://launchpad.net/bugs/113748> * Reporting a bug whenever you come across a non-trivial binary package description that doesn't include the URL of the relevant project. That will be helpful in other places too (like Synaptic), not just Launchpad. Thanks for raising this issue.
