Package: www.debian.org
Severity: minor
Hello everybody,
I just realised that packages.debian.org inverts 'experimental' and 'rc-buggy'.
Its list of suites is 'stable', 'testing', 'unstable' and 'rc-buggy', and its
list of aliases is 'squeeze', 'wheezy', 'sid', and 'experimental', while
'rc-buggy' is the Toy Story name and 'experimental' is the plain English name.
I think that it creates confusion in the search page as in the
following example.
Package euca2ools
* squeeze (stable) (utils): managing cloud instances for Eucalyptus
1.2-1: all
* wheezy (testing) (utils): managing cloud instances for Eucalyptus
2.0.2-1: all
* sid (unstable) (utils): managing cloud instances for Eucalyptus
2.0.2-1: all
* experimental (rc-buggy) (utils): managing cloud instances for Eucalyptus
2.1.3-1~experimental1: all
The inversion makes it more difficult to understand that 'rc-buggy' is a code
name, and suggests that the package has RC bugs, which is not the case.
I looked at the code of p.d.o, and wonder if the attached patch would mitigate
the problem by inverting 'experimental' and 'rc-buggy'.
Have a nice day,

Subject: [PATCH] Invert 'experimental' and 'rc-buggy'.
Before this patch, the list of suites is 'stable', 'testing', 'unstable' and
'rc-buggy', and the list of aliases is 'squeeze', 'wheezy', 'sid', and
'experimental', while 'rc-buggy' is the Toy Story name and 'experimental' is
the plain English name. This patch corrects this inversion.
