Bird debian repo now over https only?

[Adam Pribyl]

We have embedded debian instalations using the debian bird package. 
However the repo url http://bird.network.cz/debian/ is redirected to 
https. This causes a problems, because our installations do not have https 
and apt ends with:

The method driver /usr/lib/apt/methods/https could not be found.

In my opinion the explicit http request should not be automaticaly 
rewriten to https.
