Exactly. I like to show the pages in presentations and are always
struggling with small resolution projectors.

+1
Also "Versions and Archs" are with some unrelieable JS.

I have no idea what you mean. Do you mean the screenshots?

Well, the screenshots are taken from https://screenshots.debian.net/. I
would not intend to change these - but for sure it would make perfectly
sense to use pngcrush or something like this right there (which would be
an advantage for all services relying on the screen shots).

OK, this is a different topic as said above.
Another point of the broken design is that its using html tables instead
of consistent css. I'm simply no web designer and just tried to do my
best.
Kind regards
