(I'm cc'ing the relevant Debian bug report.) While using the archived versions is great for older releases I guess we should stick to the current URL. Another alternative would be a reflection service. I've set up http://cdr.debian.net/debian-cd/8/amd64/iso-dvd that would redirect to the current stable URLs. That would put the load of switching URLs on my end alone but having a non-official URLs in osinfo-db looks bad but it does allow for stable links to the current RC candidates that won't change on release: http://cdr.debian.net/debian-cd/9/i386/iso-dvd so we could add Debian stretch just now.
