The web-scraper algorithm only finds the earliest version of each
Ubuntu package.

st...@tsunami:~$ whohas -d Ubuntu tmw
Ubuntu      tmw                       0.0.23-2ub                             
http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/tmw
Ubuntu      tmw-data                  0.0.23-2ub                             
http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/tmw-data
Ubuntu      tmw-dbg                   0.0.24.1-1                             
http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/tmw-dbg
Ubuntu      tmw-music                 0.0.20-1                               
http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/tmw-music

The tmw and tmw-data packages actually have
gutsy 0.0.23-2ubuntu1  (no tmw-dbg in Gutsy)
hardy 0.0.24.1-1
intrepid 0.0.26-2
jaunty 0.0.27-1


The scraper code is copied between Debian and Ubuntu.  On Ubuntu
it does a single request for packages in suite "all", while in
Debian it does separate requests for each of
    my @dists = ( 'stable', 'testing', 'unstable', 'experimental');
which is why the Debian behaviour is different.

I hope there's a better way to get this information, instead of
page-scraping, but don't know it to suggest it.
