We configured our website to use the canonical link in the page heading.
It works fine, but our SEO partner insists that on the homepage the link href needs te be replaced from:

<link rel="canonical" href="/Home.aspx" />

to  
<link rel="canonical" href="http://www.domain.com/" />

Is there a way to alter the canonical href?

You can either wait untill 7.2 where this issues is fixed, or you can do a Notifications.Standard.Page.PageTitle notification subscriber and say:

If PageView.Current.ID = CType(PageView.Current.Area.Value("AreaFirstPage"), Integer) Then
 Meta.Add("customCan", "<link rel=""canonical"" href=""" & HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.Scheme & "://" & HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.Host & """ />")
End If

And example:
