Ricardo, could you incorporate some home-page as well, maybe pointing to
the archive.org copy until the project has a new home?

Any site holding a copy would do, but we should choose the most reliable
sites first. So I think that would be Debian, then fossies.org, then
web.archive.org (which is reliable, but probably slow.)
It’s good to specify a list of URLs instead of just one URL in those
cases.
Thoughts?
