Just a comment: the PTS is not meant to be user-oriented (heck I
cannot even contain package descriptions at the moment, since we don't
have source package description!). I'm of course fine to add info
about that in those pages, but they will be more like "this package is
only available from BLA" than "add this stanza to sources.list to get
it".

The latter kind of user information should better be pushed to some
package manager.

Cheers.
