To summarise:

Instead of having the (slightly confusing) "Newer version available" link displayed only when a *newer* version is available, we could have a separate column that always displays the most recent version of the Ubuntu distroseries version (if one is available). This would enable:

1. Users to see whether this package is provided in the main archive at all,
2. Compare the changelogs if they would like to, to see what's different,
3. the current case of determining when a newer version is available in the Ubuntu distroseries

The other main points are to make the PPA description itself larger (bug 547031) and the binary descriptions less prominent (due to the often repetitive info).
