Thanks! What is the difference between git and cgit, they seem to point to
the same location (generated by cgit)? I guess I'll use git, to save a byte.

Yes, that was a random example, I remembered that the package was mentioned
here recently, so I hoped that it was using all the latest tricks.
It seems the Lintian page could need an update, as well as the
debian-science-policy page? Oh, it is more than two years old, it was
probably written before secure URIs were recommended.
Thanks again to all four of you,
