Hmm, maybe post a feature request. Thinking about it, I don't really
see too much of a reason to need to repo in the URL. Maybe things
should even be reversed:
packages/pacman/i686
* if in multiple repos, display a list of all packages, with links to:
packages/pacman/i686/core
packages/pacman/i686/testing
?

Just an idea... but we're getting a tad offtopic now, I guess. Serves
me right for being awake at 3am
