and tried several times to add a link to that as the package's "Documentation URI". It appears OK, but is later removed (!!!) by some automatic (at least one hopes that it's not manual) process.
Once we upgrade successfully the cron that updates the site should be turned back on.
Seems the PEAR website wasn't updated yet?
No, I updated it. http://news.php.net/php.pear.webmaster/6786 Seems this is still a bug.
I found it: cron/find-documentation.php
$url = $response->getStatus() == 404 ? $new_url : '';
So whenever the documentation is not found, it gets the new url. If it's found, it keeps the URL as it is (later on, $url is sent to database when it is not empty).

Is this the only place where doc_link can be mangled? There is a sanity check here that prevents setting an empty url: if ($url) {

    $res = $dbh->execute($update, array($url, $title));

} but I am seeing the exact behaviour of setting it to an empty string.
