Hello all

As reported in the mail message below (thanks Alfred!, you may want to
subscribe to the bug number or even submit a patch), some links in
packages.debian.org need to be updated to point to the current Debian
Policy URLs.

I have searched for debian-policy links in the packages repo
(https://salsa.debian.org/webmaster-team/packages) and tried the URLs
found. These ones need to be updated:

lib/Parse/DebianChangelog.pm:1258:L<https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/#debian-changelog-debian-changelog>.

templates/config/archive_layout.tmpl:22:                main =>
'https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/#the-main-archive-area',

templates/config/archive_layout.tmpl:23:                contrib =>
'https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/#the-contrib-archive-area',

templates/config/archive_layout.tmpl:24:                'non-free' =>
'https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/#the-non-free-archive-area',

templates/html/show.tmpl:61:[%- PROCESS marker text=g('essential')
title=g('package manager will refuse to remove this package by default')
url='https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/#essential-packages' IF
page.get_newest('essential') == 'yes' %]</h1>

Kind regards,
