Many programms also have Debian versions, but there are simply not
mentioned on the homepages. Maybe the author doesn't know this, maybe
he just didn't care to update his page.
How about asking the upstream authors to place a link to the Debian
version (better only to the directory)
ftp.debian.org/debian/unstable/main/admin for example. Maybe also a
link to stable.
How about a announcement to freshmeat when a programm is newly
packaged for Debian?
Maybe this should be discussed further in -devel or -publicity.
