I think the url field in the DESCRIPTION file was originally meant to
point to an external website, and not to be present if there is no
external website. It could also be used to point to the site where the
main development occurs. In both cases it'd be legitimate to let it
point to the github sites for these two packages

(BTW: The generated file "index.html" is only for demonstration, the
corresponding page at the website is generated dynamically.)
