Bug#153556: www.debian.org: Should redirect to security.debian.org for downloads when applicable

[era eriksson <era@iki.fi>]

Package: www.debian.org
Version: 20020719
Severity: grave

I just noticed that the search engine on packages.debian.org does not
get me the latest security patches.

For example, attempting to download the latest cipe-source gets me
1.3.0-2 although this has a known security problem which is fixed in
cipe-1.3.0-3 which is available from security.debian.org.

I realize that not many people are using the search engine to do
actual downloads anymore, what with apt-get and all that, but this is
nevertheless IMHO a security flaw in the system.
