  Yeah, these summaries are static webpages which are only regenerated 
when 'a change' (as understood by calm) happens to the package. (hence 
the previous issue where a change in test status for a package wasn't 
reflected there).

I think ideally, I'd break out the process which writes them as a 
separate thing, or have them made on the fly or something, so the 
information is always current...

Anyhow, I forced a regeneration of all the summary pages, so this 
information should be up to date now.
