It probably *is* a regression, as it was likely a result of the switch to reporting downloads based on information from the Fastly CDN (originally download counts were disabled entirely after the CDN was introduced, but that change caused a large number of immediate complaints, and Fastly offered the additional API access needed to fix it). A patch to switch it to showing "No download information available for externally hosted packages" when appropriate might be acceptable, but that would be up to Donald and Richard.
