There are two reasons against that I can think:
1) it isn't under our control.
2) related to (1), we cannot form a URL local to that site that
incorporates <cat>/<pkg>.

A solution like rbu suggested, pointing to packages.g.o, would be
preferable over an external site. Of course we could then liaise with
www.unmaintained-free-software.org and post a link on packages.g.o to
their site if HOMEPAGE is a reference to packages.g.o itself. :)
