Thanks for the report, Guillem.  The homepage for rsop (like many
crates) is the forge's landing page for the git repository for the
project.

https://github.com/rust-lang/api-guidelines/issues/26 indicates that
within the crate ecosystem, if the homepage is no different from the
repository, it should not be explicitly listed in Cargo.toml.  So, the
issue is that debcargo isn't currently clever enough to populate
Debian's Homepage field correctly given the limited information
available.

Rather than fix this with a narrowly targeted change to rust-rsop, it
would be better to update debcargo and fix it for all crates with this
property.
