Proposed by mail to Christoph (but not in a bug tracker, my bad):
http://lists.debian.org/debian-www/2010/08/msg00164.html
Making a http redirect to a single picture an screenshots.d.n end would
increase speed (and it's possible since screenshots.d.n knows itself wheter a
picture is available or not).
