Good question; it's basically what Alioth uses/provides but I don't know if this is spelt out somewhere explicitly. > TBH I might have been misinterpreting what the warning means all along, > and I was thinking that I was supposed to _have_ and _keep_ the > warnings, let me explain. > > The message says: > > "URL to debian system is not the recommended one" > > and for some reason I was reading it as an advise against using a debian > URL in Vcs-* fields...
