Bug#548823: devref: please point to text file to get #debian-private password

[Ryan Niebur-3]

Package: developers-reference
Version: 3.4.3
Severity: normal

instead of wasting peoples time, making them read through
debian-private list archives, trying 3 wrong passwords until they
finally discover that they could have figured it out much, much easier
if devref had not mislead them.

Sounds reasonable. I suggest providing a patch which makes this
change.

btw, it's master.debian.org:/home/debian/misc/irc-password
I might provide a patch, tho I'm assuming it wouldn't be very hard for
the devref maintainers to just change it...
