http://0pointer.de/lennart/projects/libdaemon/ no longer exists, and
I've been unable to easily find out what happened to it, or where it
now lives (if at all).

In the meantime, here are two places where it can be downloaded from:

http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/repo/pkgs/libdaemon/libdaemon-0.14.tar.gz/509dc27107c21bcd9fbf2f95f5669563/libdaemon-0.14.tar.gz
http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/libd/libdaemon/libdaemon_0.14.orig.tar.gz

Both of these match the hash in our libdaemon recipe.  The first one has
the advantage of having the filename we expect.

We can add a ‘file-name’ field to the origin record anyway.

I went ahead and committed the new URLs, except for the home page.
Thanks!
