Public bug reported:

There's a typo in the URL linking to an autopkgtest README. The simplest
and most straightforward solution would be just to fix the typo (see the
first attached patch).

But I'm not sure it's the correct one. It presumes the packaging guide
being read on a Debian/Ubuntu box with autopkgtest installed. For an
EPUB or PDF file being read on a handheld device
(smartphone/tablet/e-book reader) this presumption is most probably
wrong. E.g. running the generated EPUB file through EPUBCheck gives me
this message:

Found an external file link (file://) in file: '<p>The <a
href="file:///usr/share/doc/au'.

Thus, I've also prepared another patch that replaces the link to the
locally installed documentation with link to the source of autopkgtest
on https://salsa.debian.org

Use either one as you see fit (but not both, obviously).
