Not this way. The guideline for links in the PTS is that they are there
only if, upon click, they lead to some information. The patch you
propose on the contrary adds a link no matter what.

What we need is instead an index of all packages currently having some
information on ubuntudiff to show; that index should be downloaded daily
and information about which packages have some data to show internalized
in the PTS. Then, at page generation time, we will output the link only
if there is some information to show.

That patter is common to several parts of the PTS, if you look around in
the code I'm confident you'll find out how to improve your patch along
these lines.

Cheers.

PS as we already have some ubuntu information in the PTS, I'm copying
   Lucas which IIRC contributed that other information: can you please
   you two check that there is no overlapping in having both links?
