The static pages on e.g. http://packages.debian.org/unstable/ are still there and getting out of date, which misinforms people not intimately up to date with Debian news (and breakage-of-the-day) and which got there through Google or other deep links. (Like "I checked just this morning and $VERSION of $PACKAGE hasn't entered Debian sid yet" while it has days ago.) Please remove these pages completely, or add a conspicuous header/footer saying it is info as of $DATE or do something else reasonable. You may want to put a pointer to http://packages.qa.debian.org or http://qa.debian.org/developer.php instead, which provides part of the information packages.debian.org used to.
