you usually can't tell when some package entered the archive. It's not in
Packages from which the web pages are generated. Changelog has it, if you
really need to know.

It coulb, but the web pakges are only to document current status of packages
not dependencies/obsoletnes. It's autogenerated and adding some
exceptions/clarifications for an obsolete package, which sould be removed from
woody anyway, would be useless.
