Perhaps it would make sense to just show that field if a default value has been provided (such as by the registration from source package link). On the other hand I think putting extra magic in might make things confusing for users (a field being present in some situations but missing in others).

Another alternative would be to have a hidden field for the homepage and simply always use the URL that was present in the source package. Rethinking this, I think this is perhaps the best option if re-adding the homepage field is considered a bad idea. In almost all situations the value of the sourcepackage homepage will be correct, and if it isn't the user can always go to the details page to fix it.

What do you think?
