Yes, that's nice.  And I see there's been some changes, too.

BTW -- is there a package for that site?  I'd like to add a wishlist 
item.  Specifically, I would like to be able to view/download individual 
files within a package (as can be done with CPAN's browse feature).

It emphasizes that if Debian were to disappear this box becomes a 
wastepaper basket and programming ends.

You couldn't just use the Packages, Sources, and Contents files on any
mirror, perhaps in conjunction with grep-dctrl? Why not?

I know this sounds grumpy, but I'm really curious: what caused the 
unusually long delay, relative to the other servers?

 Possibly: low-priority (there is several other ways to this
functionality: apt-file, apt-cache), the new development needed time and
testing comes to my mind. It is very kewl! I just love the new features!

 Hi all,

A program should be written to  model the concepts of the task it
performs rather than the physical world or a process because this
maximizes the  potential for it  to be applied  to tasks that are
conceptually similar and, more  important, to tasks that have not
yet been conceived.
