They call other distros "Debian" and "Ubuntu" despite these not being
their full names.  (I don't see any significance of this graph, it's
based on wrong assumptions and is a tertiary source.)

We already discussed having "Parabola" as the generic name for the
project and "Parabola GNU/Linux-libre" for the operating system using
Linux-libre as the kernel.  See the thread starting with
https://lists.parabolagnulinux.org/pipermail/dev/2012-January/000313.html
for details.

It's an unrelated issue and it's trivial to leave correct redirections
on the old domain (although some projects don't do this).
