I wonder what is it that we do wrong to spread this confusion so much that it
affects even Debian developers themselves.
What is this to blame? Would it be the FTP archive layout? Perhaps having an
unified BTS?
I'd be very interested in finding an answer to that question, and proposing a
reform if we find something conclussive.
