Go ahead. Get ftpmaster to include the information in the Contents
or an additional file first, though (the information should be from
the master archive, shouldn't it?).
If you're concerned about the crowded output we could introduce a
new cgi parameter for this.
(standard warning following:)
BTW, if someone is searching for the code for packages.d.o, it
is not on cvs.debian.org but on cvs.infodrom.org
(Debian.DE -> packages.debian.org when going through the web interface).
Just to avoid someone producing patches for an outdated version of the code.
Gruesse,
