I agree with Douglas - We should not inherit packages from secondary sources
but from primary sources.

According to
http://ftp-master.metadata.debian.org/changelogs/main/b/bsd-mailx/unstable_changelog
upstream is OpenBSD.

Anyway, http://ftp.de.debian.org/ is the German mirror of the Debian package
repositories. The "generic Url" would be ftp://ftp.debian.org.

However, the actual Debian sources are in Debian's git:
git://anonscm.debian.org/users/robert/bsd-mailx.git
(c.f. http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=users/robert/bsd-mailx.git)

Also, Debian's git is telling their package received its last change
2011-11-20. To me, this doesn't sound more maintained than the OpenBSD
upstream.
