absolutely, I'm hoping it can get merged by b release next year, but
it's obviously not critical.

yes of course, I'm not going anywhere.

Title:
  pull-{lp,debian}-source not getting source for binary because DDE is
  dead

Status in ubuntu-dev-tools package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in ubuntu-dev-tools package in Debian:
  New

Bug description:
  Errors like the following are happening because Debian's DDE [1] is
  dead [2]:

  logan at logan-VMware:~$ pull-debian-source d-rats
  pull-debian-source: Error: Unable to retrieve package information from DDE: http://dde.debian.net/dde/q/udd/dist/d:debian/r:sid/p:d-rats/?t=json (<urlopen error [Errno -2] Name or service not known>)
  pull-debian-source: Error: Unable to find d-rats in Debian suite "sid".

  Maybe someone would be willing to host/maintain a new instance of DDE?
  Or is there another way to programmatically grab the Debian/Ubuntu
  source package name from the binary package name?
