Bug Description

There doesn't seem to be an obvious way to return to the (distribution) source package page from a binary package page in distribution view.

For example, lets say im at:
https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/edgy/i386/python-lxml
and want to get here:
https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/lxml

i've been trying to do that a few times now, always having to resort to searching from the distribution page.

Right, we can do small reworks to integrate "Python-lxml binary in Ubuntu/Edgy/i386 " and "Lxml source in Ubuntu" pages, straight links will be great. Thanks for the feedback.

Just a note when testing this: The source will only be displayed for binary packages that are currently published... so for example:

https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/edgy/i386/python-lxml

will not have a link to the source, but:

https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/gutsy/i386/python-lxml
will (at the time of writing).

A little confusing, but it's because the DSBP gets the source link from its current (published) release. In retrospect, it would have been better to grab the source from the most current release (irrespective of whether it is published or not).
