It's basically a completely different system to debbugs, that tracks packages in the archive and pulls their copyright files etc out for display on the web. It's maintained by Martin Schulze <joey@debian.org> and Frank Lichtenheld <djpig@debian.org>. > So I guess the question is, what is this cgi script, and/or how > can I reproduce it?

If it were me, I'd be inclined to setup a redirect domain that goes from packages.foo/<pkgname> to a wikipage about my modifications to the package. Or just make it a wiki directly, I guess. > I know the script isn't included in the debbugs > package, and I suspect that it is something the folks at debian made for > themselves, although I could be wrong.
