Thank you for preparing the udd.

The conda:channel syntax was meant to prepare for the many flavours of
conda that are out there. The root is with conda-force. And this is also
where the Debian-Science-maintained package datamash is:
https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/datamash .

To cater for that, I have added some extra lines, which you may already
have seen, too. The URL is slightly different, but the CSS should be the
same, I thought.
