Title:
  apt-get source report dead links to git://git.debian.org

Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Steps to reproduce:
  1. Try to obtain source code of some package - for example for FreeMat with `apt-get source freemat`
  2. Get console output:

   Reading package lists... Done
   Building dependency tree       
   Reading state information... Done
   NOTICE: 'freemat' packaging is maintained in the 'Git' version control system at:
   git://git.debian.org/debian-science/packages/freemat.git

  3. Try to get source code manually with `git` command

     $ git clone git://git.debian.org/debian-science/packages/freemat.git
     Cloning into 'freemat'...
     fatal: unable to connect to git.debian.org:
     git.debian.org[0: 194.177.211.202]: errno=Connection refused
     git.debian.org[1: 2001:648:2ffc:deb::211:202]: errno=Network is unreachable

  
  Expected results:
  * `apt-get source ...` reports correct link for the source code, user is able to get the source code manually.

  Actual results:
  * `apt-get source ...` reports wrong link for the source code, user is unable to get the source code manually.
