After looking at the new changes in Lynis 2.0 for reporting and adding
URLs to suggestions & warnings, I've come to the conclusion that my
simple fix for the older implementation is no longer correct.
Additionally, it appears that there may be more involved in creating a
good implementation of this feature.

With Lynis 2.0, it now includes the ability to use a 'custom' url for
any test that begins "CUST-", so it would not be hard to change the
if/then statement that is in place with a case statement that could also
test for tests that begin with "DEB-".  So that part is fairly simple.
However to simply suppress the adding of URLs for those beginning with
"DEB-" would occur at a different place.   This could result in patches
that are more difficult to add to Lynis updates as they occur.

I'm trying to work out a new implementation but so far nothing easy to
maintain has come to mind.  It may be prudent to close this bug report
and I can open a new one if/when I come up with a better solution.
