commit d886d04a6e55b988b8cebec47d0c008a67f38369
Author: Ian Jackson <ijackson@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
Date:   Sun Feb 15 11:05:13 2026 +0000

    Remove broken ref: for git-buildpackage
    
    None of the other references to this seem to have ref:.
    
    Warning introduced in
        5cc63e9c0d0e9efd81b0d53b84adf62ea3044dc8
        Add git-buildpackage commands everyone should be aware of
    
    Obviously if someone wanted to provide a suitable link target that
    would be another option, but it doesn't seem very necessary.
