hi good debian www folks--

i'm e-mailing about two problems with https://packages.debian.org/
because the footer there says:

   To report a problem with the web site, e-mail
   [email protected]. For other contact information, see the
   Debian contact page.


Some files listed twice
-----------------------

https://packages.debian.org/sid/arm64/gnupg2/filelist lists many of the
files twice.  for example, /usr/bin/gpg2 and /usr/bin/gpgconf both show
up twice.

(if it helps in the diagnosis, it looks to me like the arm64 list
actually also includes many files that aren't in the fetched package for
2.0.28, including /usr/share/locale/*/LC_MESSAGES/gnupg2.mo.
c.f. https://bugs.debian.org/788989)

experimental "list of files" broken
-----------------------------------

https://packages.debian.org/experimental/gnupg2 has a bunch of "list of
files" links that claim "No such package in this suite on this
architecture", e.g.
https://packages.debian.org/experimental/amd64/gnupg2/filelist

If this isn't the right place to report this, please let me know where
i should contact next.

Thanks for maintaining debian's web presence.
