The "Browse by prefix" box on sources.debian.net homepage has entries like
"... 7 8 9 W a b c d ... w x y z", where (capital) "W" is an artifact of very
old Debian releases that didn't inforce the rule that package names should only
contain lower case letters.

We should enforce the fact that package prefixes (stored in cache/pkg-prefixes
at update time) contain only lowercase letters, and make prefix browsing
(e.g. http://sources.debian.net/prefix/W/) case-insensitive, so that both
"/prefix/w" and "/prefix/W" give the same result.

Cheers.
