Presumably if we did that we will need to keep updating the hash as well 
though?

Looking at the bug there are at least two mirrors mentioned, although those 
may not be reliable on a permanent basis there should be others (e.g. distros 
often provide copies of the upstream sources they use). We could leave the 
museum.php.net URL in place since it does appear it will eventually return, 
and add MIRRORS values to cover the situation while it's unavailable.

Does this sound like a workable plan?

Cheers,
Paul
