One deserves a <plonk> for doing that :p

This is an often-seen problem with packages.d.o web pages: even when
packages are removed from the archive, their HTMLs stay, until manual
deletion. We oughta cook up a script to handle that, but nobody has bothered
yet...
However, we have a different problem right now: mirror on master.d.o is not
getting updated regularly due to lack of disk space on that particular
partition, and the packages.d.o web pages scripts generate the HTMLs
according to that mirror. So some links are outdated and will get more and
more outdated if this is not fixed. Admins have been informed already, but
this is hardly a season when everyone's alert and ready to fix stuff
instantly. :/ And then there's the Cabal issue, of course. ;) TINC. :)
