[aur-dev] Display of alternative source name instead of URL on packages' web pages

Hello.

An alternative source name set in variable 'source' of PKBDUILD is 
replacing the URL in packages' web pages, see e. g. 
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/cantata-git/ where section "Sources 
(1)" states "cantata-git" instead of 
"git+https://github.com/CDrummond/cantata.git".

I'm not absolutely sure whether this behaviour may eventually be 
expected but actually don't think it makes a lot of sense.
So wouldn't it be better to have the URL displayed regardless of an 
alternative source name is set or not?

Regards,

Peter Mattern
