I like the url suggestion. I propose one modification:

  http://screenshots.d.n/<bin-package-name>/0
  http://screenshots.d.n/<bin-package-name>/1
  http://screenshots.d.n/<bin-package-name>/n

where image 0 is the default image displayed in rendering agent. For
simplicity, they should be all the same format. I would suggest PNG.

I am less certain how to handle the full/medium-sized images vs the
thumbnail.
