I frequently find myself running 'locate' over the morgue and poking
around in the results in an attempt to figure out when a package was
removed and what it looked like when it was, usually when working on
unknown-package bugs. snapshot.debian.net provides some of the same
functionality but is about an order of magnitude more effort to find
things in (through no fault of its own - what I want here is exactly a
Unix filesystem).
I'm not sure whether this is solvable without exporting the morgue,
which I'm aware would be a big slice of some machine's resources.
