I really would like to get it fixed (I've been missing it more and more
lately), but I'm afraid the patch didn't address the main problem. The
bug you've responded to contains just a simple problem which is easily
fixed. The main bug is #84368 (I'd responded to the patch there), with
further discussion on debian-devel at
http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2005/03/msg00491.html
The proposed solution is to extend the packages.debian.org site with the
ability to query what versions of a package are in what distributions, and
the like. I presume this should use SOAP or similar, and I haven't used
them before. I think as a stop-gap I will crib the code from reportbug
which is parsing this info out of the existing packages.debian.org HTML
code.
