While a file in the archive itself will also be useful, some
information is also available via api.ftp-master.d.o.  For example some
information about suites:

  curl https://api.ftp-master.debian.org/suites

If people need more information avialable, we can add more bits.  

Some documentation is available on
https://ftp-master.debian.org/epydoc/dakweb.queries-module.html
