Yes, that would be great. Especially if the data also told you the
source package which a binary package comes from, as that's another
problem debget doesn't have a good solution for.

Could you point me at the source? The closest I could find is a Python
script at
http://cvs.debian.org/packages/cgi-bin/?cvsroot=webwml
but since the actual script is .pl I don't suspect this is correct.
