    update Homepage to github
    
    http://ferm.foo-projects.org/ only works on http. On https (which is
    what modern browser call up without asking), only an "under
    construction" page is delivered. That makes this page unsuitable for
    being listed here.
    
    Sadly, the github page does not refer back to the project web site.

    move signing-key.asc to a place where it isnt found
    
    Upstream has moved from its own repository go github, and
    later releases don't seem to be signed any more. Moving the key
    to a place where the tools don't find it to avoid errors, but keeping
    the key intact.
    
    Please submit a patch if upstream actually signs their github releases
    and those signatures can be found by debian/watch
