I am not sure how the info for the wnpp pages is pulled, but it should check if the referenced package is source, binary, or both (i.e., same name) and consrtuct the appropriate link. In fact, as I understand it, packages are always maintained as source packages. So, a binary package that is one of several produced by a particular source package will never be orphaned alone. This makes me think it would be better always construct links on the wnpp pages of the form http://packages.debian.org/src:foo -Roberto -- Roberto C. Sanchez http://familiasanchez.net/~sanchezr
