I think we should actually list the package content on a page that comes with 
the docs and make it immediately indexable (even if not installed). When I then 
run 

 raco doc fancy-data-structure 

I may have a fighting change that it says 

 available as package FancyDataFooBar from package server. 

And I go off and install it. -- Matthias
