Bug#933609: How hard it is to find the Date of a package



Let's look at a typical "Download" page,
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/couchsurfing-inc/couchsurfing-travel-app/couchsurfing-travel-app-4-26-0-release/#downloads
as we see dates are of utmost importance.

Wherever we see a version number, we see a date.

In fact I'm sure you would be hard pressed to find any website that
doesn't (except https://www.google.com/earth/versions/#download-pro ).

So I'm saying that the Debian website should "cough up the date",
yes, "even if it is not the right date", just some date, any date, and
put it more clearly on the trail of what the user sees after Googling a
package.

I mean there are the MD5 sums, etc. down to the exact byte count, etc.
but no indication of if the package was updated last year, or before the
NASA moon voyages.

Those apt tools are great, but let's have the website cough up some
dates better too.
