I am not sure what you mean here..

Not sure whether the analogy still holds here since related package sets
may be renamed across distro series i.e. an URL like
/ubuntu/+packageset/mozilla
would require that we associate package sets through their names which
is not quite right if we e.g. have the following related sets:
karmic/mozilla, lucid/mozilla-packages, lucid+1/mozilla-foundation
That's the very reason why we introduced the package set group (aka
DistributionPackageset).
How would we navigate to a given package set group PSG then? One way
would be to access it via /any/ of its package sets.
The package set UI page could have a list of related package sets or a
link like "Show related packages.."
