The current mirror for the source code now points to a domain parking website,
so instead use this mirror I found online.

* gnu/packages/linux.scm (net-tools): Use a different uri for the origin.

It looks like Debian is packaging git checkouts. I didn't look at what
repo they are of, but Debian also names this Sourceforge page as
upstream's home-page:
https://packages.debian.org/stretch/net/net-tools
http://sourceforge.net/projects/net-tools/

The repo is 10 years old and seems to be actively maintained. We should
see if it is suitable for packaging.

Based on your suggestion and that of Leo, I’ve changed the home page to
point to sf.net and the source URL to include both sf.net and
ibiblio.org.

Thanks!

Ludo’.
