Agreed on the request, but it does not belong to the PTS, which is
mostly source-oriented (and we really don't want to have links near all
the binary package names for downloading file from them, and especially
not one of such link for each possible architecture :-)). IMO this
feature request rather belongs to packages.debian.org, which is just 1
link away from the PTS.
Reassigning the bug to packages.debian.org then.
Cheers.
