retitle 373218 naming convention for lintian URLs is not in sync with 
lintian.d.o
thanks

With the new lintian.d.o naming convention [1], this bug should be way
better now, since now URLs are email based and way less characters that
need escaping are present there.

Instead of closing the bug however I'm retitling it, since the naming
convention implemented by the PTS is not in sync with that implemented
by lintian.d.o. According to Russ:

> The list of characters that should be left unmodified are:
>     a-z A-Z 0-9 _ . @ = + -

while in the PTS the code is using translate() which does not permit to
express "replace all characters except ... with underscores".

Cheers.
