Looks good.  Any hint how to reasonably obtain

   description       of binaries
   long_description  of binaries
   homepage
   license            (perhaps)

The html page has links to

   http://ftp-master.debian.org/new/<source>_<version>.html#binary-<pkg>-control

for instance which would enable harvesting the first three fields.
License would only work for

   http://ftp-master.debian.org/new/<source>_<version>.html#binary-<pkg>-copyright

if

   Format-Specification: http://wiki.debian.org/Proposals/CopyrightFormat

is used.  So please tell me whether there is a more clever
way than

  1. parsing http://ftp-master.debian.org/new.822
  2. for src in "Sources"
	get package information

If not I might come up with a suggestion for an UDD importer.

Kind regards

          Andreas.
