Yes, because "hsdns" is not a job.  However, it's on my to-do list to make Hydra
/job URLs show all jobs with a given prefix (so /job/nixpkgs/trunk/hsdns would
show all hsdns.* jobs).

Yes, but that page actually shows an obsolete job (note that the last build was
on March 25).  The "gnucash" job no longer exist, instead there are now jobs
named "gnucash.i686-linux" and so on.
