Package: qa.debian.org
Severity: normal


I was looking for the acroread package, which isn't in Debian. Instead
of an error I got a completely empty page, no content at all.

http://packages.qa.debian.org/a/acroread.html

This should be turned into a regular 404 error that you get for other
nonexistent packages.

The blank page was never on purpose. So I fixed that by creating a special
page for removed packages. At least some historic information stays
available.

I also added a big warning for packages which are no more in unstable or
experimental since they are going to disappear.

Examples: 
http://packages.qa.debian.org/a/acroread.html
http://packages.qa.debian.org/l/lapack.html
