Package: cpio
Version: 2.11-6
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

the Vcs-* headers of the cpio package point to the personal Git
repository of the second-last maintainer[1], who in the meanwhile also
changed his Debian login name which makes even the login name in those
URLs outdated and hence the links broken.

  [1] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=609990#5

Additionally, there's no more a git daemon running on git.d.o (it's now
on anonscm.d.o only), which makes cloning from that URL fail, too. The
current link to clone Clint's old cpio packaging git repo is

  git://anonscm.debian.org/git/users/clint/cpio

but the Vcs-* headers should be updated to a different location anyway
as none of the current maintainers has write access to Clint's personal
git repositories.

I suggest to use a Collab-Maint Git repo as described on
https://wiki.debian.org/Alioth/Git and start with pushing Clints commits
into it and then add all uploads after Clint using git-import-dsc from
the git-buildpackage package.
