It's a start, at least, and will get it back on the page until we can
find/make a better spot for the link to end up.

The page is pretty bare :-) Seriously, though, the packages.debian.org is
more of what I was referring to. The package contents search includes
other archs (only released archs, btw, even if "unstable" is
selected), but the package directory search still appears to be x86-only.
FYI, I'm not complaining, just wondering about a few things that this
whole thread reminded me of.
