Dear Craig,
it is not a mirror problem, but rather a chicken-and-egg problem: if we want to
distribute the DEP on www.debian.org, and if we want the DEP to mention its own
URL, we need its draft to mention it before it actually contains something.
Given that most other recommended URLs (svn.debian.org or anonscm.debian.org)
are also broken, I do not think that it is much problematic.
Have a nice day,
