Hello,
Ack, you made your case. The URL would be "administrivia" for these
packages.
To balance this: This is not the case for any of "mine", every one of
them offers additional info on the website, be it screenshots,
mailinglists, extensive documentation or upstream's bugtracking
system.
Can we agree on the "decide on package-by-package basis"?
