In this most recent case (the URL in the initial bug report), it
probably saved me a REJECT.  I had apparently forgotten to update the
debian/copyright file (never replaced the boilerplate with specific
copyright notices).  When I saw that, I immediately fixed it and
uploaded a new version.

Incidentally, would it be possible to have those same URLs linked from
the version strings listed on the NEW page [0]?  Should I file a seperate
bug report for that?
