Hi Fred
Potato was the last Debian release without the pool structure that the
Debian ftp archive is using today. It had the structure that
debarchiver is using. When the package was released (I think it first
appeared in the potato release) it was obvious what it was. I guess
after 13 years or so, it is no longer so obvious. :-)
