Package: www.debian.org Severity: normal
Hi, When I wanted to see information on the "perl" package, I searched with a keyword "perl" and I got an exact hit in the result page[1]. However, when I clicked a link labeled as "sid (unstable)", I saw a page for "perl" section. The link URL was http://packages.debian.org/sid/perl, which can be interpreted both as "perl package in sid" and as "perl section in sid". Since the URL was used in everywhere in the package page (e.g. a link labeled as "perl" in the "Other Packages Related to debhelper" area in the debhelper package page[2]), I could not go to my destination, the "perl package" page. Finally, I found a link to the "perl package" page in the "perl section" page. The URL of perl package page was http://packages.debian.org/sid/perl/perl. The same happens for "python", which is also a name of a package and name of a section. Could you please supply some resolution of this kind of name conflicts? I think using the packages.debian.org/<dist>/*/<package> URL for packages instead of the packages.debian.org/<dist>/<package> URL will be effective, but it requires a change in the URL interface.
