I couldnt find any info about this specific source
https://www.ableton.com/en/link/
as in watchfile and metadata
this seems a valid replacement:
https://github.com/libpd/abl_link

I disagree.

the homepage in the control field points to the generic family of "Link" products, which I think is a good one for the packaged project.

(but maybe I'm missing some "well-definition" of what the "homepage" field should contain in the first place)

my stance roughly
homepage should take not more than two logic steps to
reach information of what is used as debian source
and not more than three logic steps to reach the
download location for that source

what is used as Debian source is more
and could differ than only ableton-link
