7d237647d4 DOC: normalise towards a single form of gitweb-URL
In the past we allowed a lot of leeway when referring to our
web-interface to the Lumiera Git repositories (git.lumiera.org/gitweb)
Unfortunately this caused the AI scraper bots »out there« to capture
millions of URLs for all the different flavours of spelling them out.

And now they haunt our website and try to scrap that content again and again;
even while we effectively prevent that kind of abuse, rejecting those
ongoing attempts at content-scraping causes a dangerously high amount of traffic.

With this changeset, all cross references in the documentation section
are rewritten to the only remaining valid form of that Gitweb URL.

797174ef19 Release: extensive makeover of Build and Debian documentation
On the Website, there is a set of interconnected pages related
to compiling from source, the Debian package and our DEB depot.

Although these pages have always been superficially kept up-to-date,
the overall presentation feels dated and generally not well organized.
During the last weeks, I have almost entirely rewritten all those pages,
added information about the (now reworked) DEB package, explained the
alternate ways to build from a Debian source package (notably the
`mk-build-deps` for handling the build dependencies, which effectively
the only method which always worked during the last years, since our
DEB package was totally outdated)

Furthermore, I have tested most of the build steps with the current
source trees, repositories and package definition, and finally I
have also updated and polished the front-page of our DEB-Depot
(-> see commit on the depot-Branch)

Wheew ... quite some work done!
