Then without thinking too much, someone changed above URL ending
index.??.html

Sigh.  Whoever touched file, please put it back or discuss with me how
to addres issues without causing other issues.  This is also reported as
Bug#384832.

I thought I told bug reporter there is the reason why I did this
intentionally.  If someone wants index.??.html, please make old link as
symlinks or so so old links will be OK.  Also let's fix upstream CVS and
copy contents.  The souce is version tracked with upstream CVS contents.
Anyway, let's talk how to go at this first, please.

Problem of changing DDP CVS only withou me knowing it has [posible
issue.  Because when I update source, I do it in upstream and test it.
Then I copy all contents over Debian ones.
