[PATCH] debianutils: change SRC_URI to use snapshot.debian.org

[PATCH] debianutils: change SRC_URI to use snapshot.debian.org

[Ross Burton]

The primary Debian archive only contains tarballs which are currently
shipped in a release, so it's easy for a tarball we need to disappear.
Instead, point at snapshot.debian.org to ensure the link remains valid.

This breaks automated upgrades unfortunately (upstream check works, but
upgrade itself won't figure out a newer snapshot URI).

Is it possible to convert this to fetch from git instead?
