Dear Debian-Community, first I want to say thank you, that you give us also the option to search for packages(-informations) with a webbrowser.
I made an Android app, that actually scraps the most interesting parts from a search result and show them in a native android gui. Webscrapping is of course an ugly way to collect that data. But the real interfaces that I found - DDE and PTS - can't do a free text search for packages, as far as I know. Today I started the app and the package names (strings) couldn't be retrieved, so probably the html code changed. My regex-pattern for this matched "Package (.*?)</h3>". And I also send the used language setting of the android device to get language specific descriptions. In general I want to ask you, did you changed something recently in the code? If yes, was it convidence or did you do it because of the android app? Of course, this regex pattern can be fixed. But If you don't want that kind of webscrabing, I won't fix it and of course remove the app from github and playstore. I want to apologize that I just released the app without asking you.
