Well, I would have tried to find a fix if I would have access - so perhaps
a differentiation between the scripts that are actually running (and are
controlled by yourself) and a copy in SVN might make sense.  I could check
in something and you could verify and copy to the place where the scripts
are running.

No need to be sorry about.

I think I found another bug: It seems that all packages are merked as
"Homepage not available".  I suspect that this is caused by the fact, that
control files in stable do not contain this information.  Is this righht?

Same to me - so lets go for a simple alphabethical order for a start.

Sure.  I do not expect this realized in one shot.  Perhaps an item for
our TODO list.

No, not really on the fly.  We could perfectly create static pages and add
a menu where users could choos their language.  Just keep it simple for the
moment.  The static information is available on the DDTP pages and thus
creating thise pages sounds not that hard.  We could add some top menu to
enable the user to select the prefered language.

It is exactly what I had in mind for a first shot.
