Yeah, I saw some bugs about the URLs being wrong -- so an explicit
setting.  However, it can be a hint.  For anyone interested, scraping
revealed these:

    cairo
    cairo-5c
    cairo-www
    fontconfig
    gstreamer/gst-plugins-gl
    gstreamer/gst-rtsp-server
    gstreamer/jhbuild
    mesa/rbug-gui
    nouveau/linux-2.6
    plymouth
    poppler/test
    py2cairo
    pycairo
    roadster
    xorg/driver/xf86-video-radeonhd
