Apart the maintainer problem, the layout makes a presupposition that all the other fields are identical for all versions, which is not always the case:
- Description may vary
- Section may vary
- License may vary
Taking care of this would not be a problem of visual layout, but of database organization and would require some serious coding, I suspect.
It would go some way in the direction of debian's package database. They have completely different pages for the different distributions and for each package just a small page with links for the different versions, for example: http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?searchon=names&version=all&exact=1&keywords=passwd
Then the page for each version has each and every bit of information one can ever want to have about the package. I am not sure if we want to go down this path. Our public is different (not to mention manpower).
Then I'm not sure colors may be suitable for color-blind people, though I'm in this category and have no problem with them, but there are many different way of being color-blind.
Yes, on the color layout page referred to by fink.css http://www.pixy.cz/apps/barvy/index-en.html I learned that there are at least 8 kinds of color blindness. But in our case, the colors wouldn't carry essential information, so this wouldn't be a problem. Anyway, I am not sure what this information is good for. Do there exist web sites where you can choose your variant of color blindness and you get pages in different color schemes?
