Package: www.debian.org
Version: unavailable; reported 2003-08-25
Severity: wishlist

Gentlemen, consider users looking for info on say lynx.
http://packages.debian.org/lynx leads to
http://packages.debian.org/unstable/web/lynx.html leads to
"Download Page for lynx_2.8.4.1b-5_i386.deb on Intel x86 machines"
leads to
http://debian.linux.org.tw/debian/pool/main/l/lynx/lynx_2.8.4.1b-5_i386.deb

But nowhere does the user see one speck of date information for this
package, even down to the final click for a .deb.

http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/search_packages2.pl?keywords=lynx&searchon=names&version=all&release=all
(i.e. http://packages.debian.org/lynx) tells us byte size to the tenth
of a kilobyte, etc. but totally doesn't give any "freshness dating"
information.

Sure, there, yes, are ways for the user to find date information, but
you could consider pro-actively providing it.
