Bug Description
I was very pleased to see the package diff links in the source package history. Kudos on this useful feature.
However, I was somewhat disappointed to find that clicking on the link did not display the diff, but only offered a gzip archive for download. Particularly for small diffs (the common case), it would be much more useful to be able to view these diffs directly in the browser, rather than downloading them. Of course, some diffs are huge and wouldn't be as useful to see in the browser, but perhaps we could have the best of both worlds with both "view" and "download" hyperlinks.
