At least the maintainer and (iirc, at least that's how we proposed
it the first time around) flag tags support a restrict attribute.

But I really expect that as long as the package is the same, homepage is
unlikely to change with version; maybe with slot I guess, but even that
is debatable and somewhat rare I think.
