You could also use the contents of this file to show the number of errors
and warnings on the PTS page of the package.

I think it would make the most sense to show links to both pages if they
both have contents, or to show a link only to the full page if there are
no warnings or errors. You'd want to distinguish between the two links
somehow to make it clear that one is only warnings and errors (and
generally what people have to worry about), and the other shows the full
report including things that aren't necessarily problems.
