Hello Mathieu,

githubredir.debian.net links to the automatically-generated tarballs 
Github produces from each Git tag, not the official release tarballs 
produced by the project.  These will be different, of course, as the 
official tarballs contain e.g. the generated configure script and 
Makefile.in's.

Because published Git tags are effectively immutable, the autogenerated 
v1.0.0 tarballs cannot be removed.

Apparently OpenSlide-Java 0.9.2 was never tagged.  Fixed now.
