Bug Description

Package diffs seem to be shown in the 'Available diffs' section for quite some time before they're actually linkified.

The package-diff generator runs every 12 minutes, so the lag in diff generation is expected. The fact we are listing the not-yet-performed diffs is to communicate "wait some minutes". Do you have any suggestions to make it clearer ?

Listing diffs that aren't yet performed under the heading of 'Available diffs' is rather contradictory. They're not performed, so not available, so what are they doing in a section with 'available' in the title?

I don't see a benefit in showing a diff unless it is actually there. It doesn't give any useful information unless it is linked to the actual diff.

As discussed on IRC, there is a benefit of showing the pending package-diffs in the page. The user don't have to generate the diff manually if he is not in a hurry. The suggestion to make it clearer was to append '(pending)' to the text. I will release something in edge soon.
