An alternative (UDD-based) is [1], but the information provided by it can
lag a few hours. That could of course be improved but that needs some
coordination between the UDD maintainers, ftpmasters (maybe, not sure,) and
DSA.
Shameless plug: you can also use the same CGI to check ubuntu, all the
derivatives, and everything UDD knows about. You just need to pass it the
"table" argument (with either debian, ubuntu, derivatives, or all.) E.g.
http://qa.debian.org/cgi-bin/madison.cgi?package=lintian&table=all
[1] http://qa.debian.org/cgi-bin/madison.cgi
Also known as 'udd' to the rmadison script. I.e. `rmadison -u udd`
