And indices just contains du-k.gz, find-ls,gz and ls-lR.gz -- none of
which necessarily get updated often.

authors/RECENT.recent is really the key file for having the most
up-to-date distributions

modules/RECENT.recent covers the 02packages.details.txt file, but that
updates via cronjob, not on demand as distributions are indexed, so it
can lag anyway.
