I have already located the URL that is requested for the JSON via
Firebug, but it does not contain the target URLs but just metadata from
which Google's Javascript constructs the final download URLs.
I'll have to find out if that is even doable with pagemangle, and
whether I want to do that just to silence my dashboard notifications for
a project where new upstream versions are unlikely...
