[Pkg-electronics-devel] Bug#997958: kicad-pcb.org is now controlled by a most likely malicious third party

Package: kicad
Version: 5.99.0+really5.1.10+dfsg1-1

In 2020 KiCad moved its official website to kicad.org

Recently, a former member has betrayed the project and sold the
kicad-pcb.org domain name to an unknown third party. The new owner has
subsequently set up a fake KiCad website that is very similar to the
real one, probably for the purpose of serving malware.

Please change all instances of the kicad-pcb.org domain name in this
and other relevant packages to kicad.org.
