I know how to find the packages :-)

What I am pointing out is that the link provided on the WNPP page
is this:

http://packages.debian.org/ubit

Which yields this as a result:

---------
Package Search Results

You have searched for packages named ubit in all distributions,
all sections, and all architectures.

Can't find that package.
---------

What I am saying, is that script that pulls info for the WNPP page
should be a bit smarter :-)

The links should be constructed so they *actually* lead to the
referenced package.
