BTW, looking around yesterday, I decided to commit that without asking:
  https://salsa.debian.org/webmaster-team/webwml/-/commit/94f082ac63ca7c08358f9528657c9cb60f6b2813
  https://salsa.debian.org/webmaster-team/webwml/-/commit/e25a5bd687333c5f5d2d4d8be5512ff7fe16d86c

I've never looked into why s390(x) was(were) a special case, but given
the current output from casulana, removing the exception looked sane
enough to do right away (worst case that can easily be adjusted later).

Also restored the source links, even if I didn't dive into the root
problem(s) and the relevant fix(es), stuff was there, I linked (back)
to it:

  https://salsa.debian.org/webmaster-team/webwml/-/commit/51f41ffe0386080b4cb54472272a9e51dea8d277

(This is merely for sanity checking, I'm not asking for details.)
