Ah.  I didn't think to check the repository there, and it doesn't exist,
as I proved when I tried to install it.

However, it appears that while the package doesn't exist, the listing
slipped into the DeltaH-security main package list[1].  Seems like if it
doesn't exist then it shouldn't show up in the package manager either.
Probably a low priority issue, though.
