They are included because Jim Fulton said they ought to be included. More precisely, the spec for the simple API was this: - place all links on a single page, for all versions, to reduce the number of roundtrips - per version, include the links from the metadata, plus any links from the description. I'm not sure what would break if I change not, nor do I understand what "#egg=virtualenv-dev" does. I fail to see your problem, though: if you move the source repository to a different URL, and just break the old URLs to return an HTTP error, wouldn't that be sufficient?
