Eh, I was just about to suggest the same. I would however rather ship a
list of hosts that are known to offer the service on https, too. For
those the message would be "warning". For anything else it was rather a
carefully worded recommendation as in "please check whether that host
is accessible using https, too", and severity "pedantic".
And there are more places here lintian could check for such URLs: The
DEP-3 header in debian/patches/, most notably Bug-Debian:, and the
format description in dep-5 debian/copyright. I am not going to open
bugs for these particular cases, two mostly identical ones should
be enough.
