This is a discussion which should continue on the ubuntu-doc list, but
for the record: apt urls don't currently work on the documentation
wiki. The question of whether to use them has been discussed by the
documentation team, and a request has been made to the sysadmins back
in September last year (ticket 3005 for those interested) to enable
apt urls on the server that runs the wiki.

As for the non-wiki part of the help website, we're hoping to
introduce apt-url links in those documents during this release cycle.
