This is an automated pull request to fix broken Gmane URLs.

Here's what I did:
First I searched for Gmane URLs in your repo. For each Gmane URL, I checked if the content was available at the URL. For URLs where the content was not available, I first checked the article subdomain of Gmane, which has some content not available on the thread and comments subdomains.

If the content wasn't anywhere on Gmane's web interface, I resolved the URL to a Message-ID via the Gmane NNTP interface and tried to find the Message-ID on other mailing list archivers. I checked mail-archive.com, then marc.info, then lists.debian.org and so on.

If a new URL was found, I replaced it in this pull request. If the content wasn't found, I left the link alone.

I don't understand. Why would this lead to hundreds of rebuilds when it is just refreshing some comments and one link in an old release note?

nix-prefetch-git is a shell script, Nix does not know that the change is not significant.
