I think json should contain exactly the same, as an array of objects.
Each object has package name, versions, debtags, short desc and desc, just like in html but formatted in json.
This page is generated automatically from UDD (or other) right?
I can manage without this with the command you gave me (search with debmed maintainer address), so do not do this for me only.
In a more general way, it would be nice to query Debian archive from remote systems (get files in a packages get package info, search packages with X or Y etc...). We have information from many web sites/pages but it could be usefull to get all those info available via an easy web API. It would help users willing to integrate some Debian stuff into their tools.
I do not know if such concern has already been raised between deb developpers, I would be surprised if not.
