While true, https://salsa.debian.org/debian/helix gives a 404, so seems
to still be available.
https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/helix also gives "Not Found" (thus 404).

Earlier today I was alerted to the existence of the helix editor and
thought it wasn't packaged for Debian, so I searched on wnpp.debian.net
and found bug https://bugs.debian.org/1024683 and so I learned that it
actually was packaged for Debian \o/ ... but on the name 'hx'.

In that RFP/ITP bug it was suggested to change the name to (something
with) 'helix' and I think that would be a better name.
So instead of fixing the repo URL, I'd prefer a package rename.

That way https://repology.org/ may also automatically discover it and
https://github.com/helix-editor/helix will show it is indeed packaged
for Debian already.

My 0.02

Cheers,
  Diederik
