Good catch.  Thank you.

Patches welcome.  I also notice that the URL mentioned in README.source
uses a self-signed certificate --- I better fix that, too.  You can get
the source at git://repo.or.cz/git/debian.git, branch debian-sid.

If you don't provide a patch, that's fine and I'll still fix it --- a
patch is just faster. :)

Thanks,
Jonathan
