I'm still not convinced: if someone is searching information about
openide-util, an out-of-date link is better than nothing (as long as it
is clear that information is out-of-date; and it is). Anyway, it doesn't
really matter for me, so I'll just follow your suggestion.

The source link can be found in debian/README.source (which will be
extended in next release).

Thanks, Giovanni.
