http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/download.pl?arch=all&file=pool%2Fmain%2Fl%2Flinuxcookbook%2Flinuxcookbook_1.2-1_all.deb&md5sum=d4b49cb723454bd347af6b9c2f87cf08&arch=all&type=main&dist=oldstable is ok but :

* http://packages.debian.org/oldstable/doc/linuxcookbook is not up to
date "Last Modified: Mon, 13 Feb 2006" so the fixed link is not
displayed.
Maybe rebuilds are done only for new package version ??

* The links to sources : dsc, orig.gz and diff.gz will have to be
addressed as well.

* General issue for all package pages : the &arch=$arch is send twice in
the download.pl url

How to force the rebuild of all pages ?
