Bug#744981: does not recognize https version of copyright format URL
Thanks for the bug report.

lintian does not recognize the https variant of this URL:
https://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/copyright-format/1.0/
This is not the correct URL according to the copyright-format
specification, so in a way Lintian is right. Still and all, Lintian
should recognize it, just like it recognized many other outdated or
slightly malformed URIs. We probably need a separate tag (or even tags)
to complain about them.
