I hesitate on this... Should I restrict the distributions to Debian
official ones ? If so, it would prevent "diffing" Debian versus
debian-derivatives files...

I was thinking of something like that... But I'm also considering to use
unstable and lenny's Packages/DiffIndex to create a page like moinmoin's
RecentChanges (i.e. not marking it as "no-follow"), so google doesn't
have to rescan the all tree all the time.
I'm working on something else for Lenny at the moment, but I'll come
back to sysinf0 once Lenny is frozen.
