Bug Description

There's a typo in the URL linking to an autopkgtest README. The simplest and most straightforward solution would be just to fix the typo (see the first attached patch).

But I'm not sure it's the correct one. It presumes the packaging guide being read on a Debian/Ubuntu box with autopkgtest installed. For an EPUB or PDF file being read on a handheld device (smartphone/tablet/e-book reader) this presumption is most probably wrong. E.g. running the generated EPUB file through EPUBCheck gives me this message:

Found an external file link (file://) in file: '<p>The <a href="file:///usr/share/doc/au'.

Thus, I've also prepared another patch that replaces the link to the locally installed documentation with link to the source of autopkgtest on https://salsa.debian.org

Use either one as you see fit (but not both, obviously).

Not sure if it warrants another bug report, so here's yet another patch that basically cleans up after the previous one plus rectifies some other broken links on the same page about autopkgtest.

1. The online version of running_test is the only one referenced on the page now, thus the part in the parentheses got superfluous.

2. The reference name running_tests_local is misleading now after the previous patch made it non-local, so I've got ridden of the _local part in the name.

3. For DEP8, the link to the raw blob replaced with the link to the rendered document.

4. For projects that migrated to Git, the dead links to https://bazaar.launchpad.net replaced with the current ones on https://git.launchpad.net
