This is an issue with all packages on source.puri.sm - both pureos/core 
and pureos/packages are not connected to Salsa or to Laniakea.

These repo groupings (core and packages) likely no longer serve the same 
purpose as originally - namely to be "complete and corresponding" source 
code for all the packages in PureOS. We likely ought to have a plan or 
create one for how we can have a one-to-one correspondence between 
source code in a git repo and the binaries in the archives to make 
support easier.

This makes sense but this list can be a very valuable resource for those 
new to PureOS, for making policy, and for other co-ordination. So I for 
one welcome Carsten's mail to the list.

Sensible.
