The reason why there is no structure in the list of packages is that the
webpage
is not static but rather dynamically by a server-side php script.
Essentially what this script does is loop over all directories in the main
html directory
detect which directories contain the html files of a package and read the
information
to display on the web page from there.
If you can program in PHP and would like to suggest patches for the script
generating
the package list just let me know and I'll send you the code or put it
somewhere
where you can download it.
