A direct download to the current binary distribution. The reason 
for that is a usability one.
I have noticed that we have many click paths which look like this:

visit PDB, do search, look at package page, (go back), go to 
download page, download.
We could easily shorten that down to
visit PDB, do search, look at package page, download

Obviously there is alos a reaosn of tracking statistics 
based on which package triggered a download. 
Which could be used to motivate the maintainer :)
