Lintian tag: homepage-for-cpan-package-contains-version

Type: warning

Description (from lintian-explain-tags)

The Homepage field for this package points to CPAN and the URL includes
the version. It's better to link to the unversioned CPAN page so that the
URL doesn't have to be updated for each new release. For example, use:

http://search.cpan.org/dist/HTML-Template/

or

https://metacpan.org/release/HTML-Template/

not:

http://search.cpan.org/~samtregar/HTML-Template-2.9/

Visibility: warning
Show-Always: no
