I would like to replace these pages by global summaries pointing to the Alioth pages, but I think that I have decided to postpone this to the freeze, where packaging work does not impact the stable distribution anymore. Also, at that time, we will know the final contents of Debian-Med in Lenny.
IMHO there is no such time you are mentioning. There are two ways to make
it transparent for users which packages are in stable / testing / unstable:
1. Find a color scheme (may be also sorting scheme) that does expresses
in which distribution the official package is included:
stable -> dark green (perhaps listed on top)
testing -> medium green (perhaps listed after the packages in stable)
unstable -> light green (perhaps listed as last section of offical pkgs)
inofficial -> yellow
no pkg -> red
or
2. Maintain sepearate lists of packages for stable, testing and
unstable and list those packages from unstable that are not
in testing and all packages that are not in stable as inofficial
(because they are not officially included in this distribution
but might work). In case we decide for this option we might
consider including backports.org.
Pinning our dynamic pages onto a certain release like Lenny or whatever
ignores the continuous development and contradicts the principle of
dynamic pages.
Kind regards
Andreas.
