repo.jing.rocks fails 4 URL sanity tests, all of which involves
`debian-keyring_2023.09.24_all.deb`:

http(s)://repo.jing.rocks/devuan///merged///pool///DEBIAN///main///d///debian-keyring///debian-keyring_2023.09.24_all.deb

repo.jing.rocks passes all other sanity tests. This is because
debian-keyring_2023.09.24_all.deb doesn't exist!!

Yes, I checked my server, there is no
`debian-keyring_2023.09.24_all.deb` under
`/debian/pool/main/d/debian-keyring`. I checked my debian mirror
upstream (mirror.accum.se), it doesn't exist there either. But when I
run `curl -I -v
http://deb.debian.org/debian/pool/main/d/debian-keyring/debian-keyring_2023.09.24_all.deb`,
it returns 200 OK, probably because it is served by deb.debian.org
varnish cache:

...
Cache-Control: public, max-age=2592000
Date: Tue, 09 Jan 2024 13:19:57 GMT
Via: 1.1 varnish, 1.1 varnish
X-Served-By: cache-ams12771-AMS, cache-nrt-rjtf7700038-NRT
...

So it would appear those servers redirecting debian packages to
deb.debian.org would have no such error.

onefang, please change your script to test
`debian-keyring_2023.12.24_all.deb` instead. Or, just HEAD the directory
`debian-keyring`.
