It appears to be, unfortunately.  The other netkit packages point at Debian servers but they purged this package years ago in favor of the rpc options bundled with libc. The upstream source that was in Armin's original commit has been dead for quite a while too, based on what I could find from the wayback machine and so if left as it was would produce a new warning 100% of the time when building the package. It seemed appropriate then to follow the few other examples of this in the meta-openembedded tree, my quick search turned up two such.
