Thanks.

Good news: I've added the computed values for Debian-Med and
Debian-Science in git.
Bad news: That's not enough; AFAICS cme fix doesn't change existing
values, and besides that anonscm and friends are still considered
valid.
Even worse news: Trying to rip out anonscm and other alioth URLs is
beyond my understanding of Config::Model, I can only trigger huge
amounts of test failures.

I'm afraid that's a case for Dominique alone ...

Ok, let's wait and see.
