Yep, it's a old and obsolete URL, I just sent a message in LinkedIn to
upstream, but I don't have response yet.

I hope update the data soon.

Bug#685180: RFS: sniffit/0.3.7.beta-17

Hi William,

I had a look at the package at mentors uploaded there on 2012-08-21 23:06.

I see that the package adds "DM-Upload-Allowed: yes".  Was this agreed with
some sponsor who is going to upload this ?

I suggest to also fix bug 685419 by removing the Homepage field from
debian/control.  I'm not sure about the severity of bug 685419, and thereby the
fitness for wheezy.  I'd allow this in wheezy but I'm not a release manager.
You may also mention in debian/copyright that the upstream source code can no
longer be retrieved at the mentioned location, but I don't read that in
debian-policy so that is optional in my opinion.

Regards,

Bart Martens

Not really, but I think it would be future updates easier (i'm DM),
and I always request a review before upload a package,

But would alert lintian right? I think it would be a error changing the other.
IMO I think the fact that the page is down is not so bad, I contacted
the upstream via linkedin and am awaiting their response.
