         As Debian GIS is a Pure Blend, a good way to get sponsorship is to use Andreas Tille's
-        <ulink url="https://wiki.debian.org/DebianPureBlends/SoB">Sponsoring of Blends</ulink> initiative.
-        Andreas's conditions for sponsorship are listed on that website.

+        If you cannot find a sponsor in the Debian GIS team, you can add a new
+        entry for your package to the SoB wiki page to request sponsorship via
+        the SoB initiative, assuming the conditions documented on the SoB wiki
+        page are met.
