Would it perhaps be more meaningful (if just a bit more work)
to pull the most recent change date out of the changelog, and
put that in a "Last_Modified" field?  What's significant here
to users is the date of the last change to the package internals,
not events in the package processing cycle (though Upload_Date
and Availability_Date fields could provide an indication of
package processing performance ;-).
