Ah, a wrong case of mine, sorry. The case is that you can have a package
currently in testing at ftp archive and not having it in jigdo testing files
because this package has not not been in testing when these jigdo/image files
have been snapped.. e.g. previous week or so. A good reason imho not to bind
searches on current ftp archive with searches on jigdo snapped a ~week ago or
at least to mention the lag between two sources.

It is quite useful
You may want to give more hints to newcomers describing the hidden 'list
contents' feature - "list of cached files" becomes smth like "list of cached
files and their / media / contents", before they hit you back missing it
badly ;-)
