There should be a "git" before debian-science:

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.

https://alioth.debian.org/anonscm/git/collab-maint/madbomber.git/


I think this will get in trouble with lintian for being a non-canonical
URL (using alioth.debian.org instead of anonscm.debian.org).

That was my first try with this, it wass not working, but now I know how to
correct this.

You might have looked at a bad example, but try the corrected URL as I
explained above and see if it works for you.

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.

I took the liberty of updating the policy page.
