Thanks for the explanation!

I think this can explain why an old version of package is still in
archive, but still cannot explain why it appears in *experimental*
column in DDPO page.

Great example. Thanks again!

I checked one package I mentioned previously:
====
$ apt-cache showsrc golang-github-google-go-github | grep -E
'^(Version|Extra-Source-Only|)(:|$)'
Version: 32.1.0-1
Extra-Source-Only: yes

Version: 32.1.0-2
====

But 28.1.1-1 still appears in my DDPO [2] in experimental column.

So I think there might be two possible bugs in DDPO:
- golang-github-google-go-github version 28.1.1-1 was never uploaded
to experimental, but unstable.
- golang-github-google-go-github 28.1.1-1 is not in ESO anymore, but
still appears in DDPO.
