package information (incoming and NMU)

[dman <dsh8290@rit.edu>]

Hi All.

Today I wanted to look for (new version of) a package that apt-cache
policy said didn't exist, but I had reason to believe it did.  I
wanted to look at "incoming"[1].  I think "incoming" is
http://incoming.debian.org, but I didn't see the package there this
morning.  Is this the correct place to look?  (apt-cache shows the
package in sid now and I see it in incoming too)  

The other thing I want to know is who uploaded the package.  I'm just
curious as to whether it was the maintainer or if it was an NMU[2].

TIA,
-D


[1] my understanding is that "incoming" is where uploads take place,
    then some scripts move them to sid (and eventually woody) periodically

[2] Non-Maintainer Upload
