Well, linking is the easiest way, I would prefer a summary page
because it is more useful that looking every project on the general
packages.debian.org or packages.qa.debian.org site.
About that I would think some web services which can be used
to return specific information in well formed XML for the packages.* sites...
Something that bugs.d.o already does, but I dunno if it is also
available for other sites. Surely much better than re-inventing
the wheel each time...
