Ubuntu Hardy repository replaced by Intrepid repository

The Ubuntu Hardy repository has been dropped and replaced by an Intrepid repository. If you need the bluefish-unstable package for an Ubuntu Hardy installation, keep the deb-src entry from the previous sources.list snippet, get the source and the build-dependencies. Then build the package(s) and install them.

apt-get source bluefish-unstable
apt-get build-dep bluefish-unstable
cd bluefish-unstable-version
debuild -us -uc
...
dpkg -i package.deb

The same goes for building the package for a different architecture than i386!
