I just remembered I needed to do this - don't hesitate to ping me if
that happens again.

And indeed, I had to fix a quoting issue in the script, so the warning
is not unjustified yet ;)

You're also raising a valid concern that currently, in spite of the
past work to make the system "square" and get rid of non-standard
setups, I'm the only one available to do this kind of task - probably
because I'm the only permanent system hacker.  We gotta find some new
volunteers for the sysadmin side.

I think you'll need to setup a redirect for
gnu.org/s/speedx -> gnu.org/s/gnukart
