That then links to

    http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/beyond-pkging.html#mia-qa

but there is no such tool mia-query in Lenny, Squeeze or Sid, and the
URL it refers to

    http://qa.debian.org/org/qa.debian.org/mia

is a 404.  Nor does db.debian.org contain "echelon information", AFAICT.
