I checked and there is an hardcoded reference (git) master (branch) in
library-web; while other GNOME changes did destroy much of library-web
(meson without alternative way to get gtk-doc HTML files), it would
still be nice to have the compatibility link (or for someone to step
up and adapt library-web).

And looking at it now, jhbuild, too, has references to the branch.
