The repository URL in package.json is broken

@Qix-, I suggest taking another look at https://github.com/debug-js/debug/pull/1003. I see you get lots of nonsensical PRs touching package.json and I suppose I can understand trigger-happy closing, but that one really is fixing an outright error. The Git protocol no longer works on GitHub, so you cannot git clone git://github.com/debug-js/debug.git, and although the npm website auto-fixes the URL to https://github.com/debug-js/debug.git, the registry API still reports the broken URL exactly as it appears in package.json.

Is it important? Probably not. But is it nonetheless a fix to something which is currently incorrect? Yes - and it's immediately fixable with no downside just by merging that PR.
