Bug Description

Going to https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ndiswrapper/+publishinghistory and clicking on 1.43-1ubuntu1 takes me to https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/gutsy/+source/ndiswrapper/1.43-1ubuntu1 , which is a 'page not found' error (OOPS-695F408). Since ubuntu is required to hang onto sources for a while (three years, IIRC) to maintain GPL compliance, it's important that sources be available even for superseded packages which aren't in any distribution.

They're accessible if you remove the gutsy/ from the URL. The link is broken, however.
