we replace such links with links to

Adding a link to
web.archive.org is appropriate and desirable but
replacement destroys the link to the original source, which will be
needed if/when
web.archive.org dies.
Doesn't a
web.archive.org link contain within it the URL of the original source?
If the site is dead, and there is no archive of it on the internet
archive (or anywhere else presumably), why would you want the link
anyway?

You might want it in case the site comes back up (as has been known to happen).
