Dear Maintainer,

The attached patch simply updates the Bazaar (bzr) branching URL advertized in
debian/control. Please consider applying it to the 'sqsh' debian packaging
source.

Motivation:

I was unable to branch from the debian sqsh packaging repo using the
advertized URL:

    $ apt-get source sqsh=2.1.7-4
    Reading package lists... Done
    Building dependency tree       
    Reading state information... Done
    NOTICE: 'sqsh' packaging is maintained in the 'Bzr' version control system 
at:
    nosmart+http://bzr.debian.org/bzr/users/vorlon/sqsh/trunk/
    Please use:
    bzr branch nosmart+http://bzr.debian.org/bzr/users/vorlon/sqsh/trunk/
    to retrieve the latest (possibly unreleased) updates to the package.
    Skipping already downloaded file 'sqsh_2.1.7.orig.tar.gz'

    $ bzr branch nosmart+http://bzr.debian.org/bzr/users/vorlon/sqsh/trunk/
    bzr: ERROR: Not a branch: 
"nosmart+http://bzr.debian.org/bzr/users/vorlon/sqsh/trunk/";.

And (mostly) equivalently:

    $ debcheckout sqsh
    declared bzr repository at 
nosmart+http://bzr.debian.org/bzr/users/vorlon/sqsh/trunk/
    bzr branch nosmart+http://bzr.debian.org/bzr/users/vorlon/sqsh/trunk/ sqsh 
...
    bzr: ERROR: Not a branch: 
"nosmart+http://bzr.debian.org/bzr/users/vorlon/sqsh/trunk/";.
    checkout failed (the command above returned a non-zero exit code)

With some minor mucking around I found that this URL works:

    $ bzr branch nosmart+http://anonscm.debian.org/bzr/users/vorlon/sqsh/trunk/
    Branched 26 revisions.

Thanks for your work on Debian, and happy π Day!
-Al
