Like, the one right at the top left below the breadcrumbs which read [ Source: $srcpackagename ]? Would that be convenient enough for you? Ok, I have found what are you seeing But, for example, morse-simulator you arrive here: http://packages.qa.debian.org/m/morse-simulator.html and then you click you have said: http://packages.debian.org/src:morse-simulator and appears a page with: bla bla bla Source Package morse-simulator wheezy (science): 0.5.2-1 Binary packages: morse-simulator, morse-simulator-data, morse-simulator-doc jessie (science): 1.1.1-1 Binary packages: morse-simulator, morse-simulator-data, morse-simulator-doc, python3-morse-simulator sid (science): 1.2-2 Binary packages: morse-simulator, morse-simulator-data, morse-simulator-doc, python3-morse-simulator I'm sorry, I didn't realize that if I click on the jessie or sid or wheezy (distro names) will target me to the: https://packages.debian.org/source/jessie/morse-simulator that is the page that i wanted. I think that the link is not intuitive (at least for me). Could be possible, for example, to change the label of the link and add something like: Source package in wheezy (science): 0.5.2-1 ... Source package in jessie (science): 1.1.1-1 ... Source package in sid (science): 1.2-2 ... I know that this kind of changes needs a lot of consensus and I would like to hear more opinions about that, but I think that it could be more clear is shows that are targeting to the source information and not to the debian distro. Rereading again the mail, and reading again the page I see that put on the top of the list: Source Package, but it has been so opaque for me during this time. Any suggestion?
