I browse to the Debian Packages page and pick a package (almost any),
search, and follow the links down as far as the Mirrors page (links to
the actual files). I copy the address and paste it into the address
bar, but without the filename at the end. Then I just browse the
directories in the pool.
If, however, you start with a package that happens to have a security
update, you might get stuck in the security website, where you can't
see all the general packages but only the security updates.
Don't know if that's what you meant.
Cheers,
David.
