Bug Description

1. Go to <https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/natty/+search?text=Gtk-3.0.gir>.

What you see: "No packages matching 'Gtk-3.0.gir' are published in Natty."

What you should see: At least one of
* the source package gtk+3.0 <https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/natty/+source/gtk+3.0>
* the binary package libgtk3.0-dev <https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/natty/+package/libgtk3.0-dev>
because those packages contain the Gtk-3.0.gir file.

The usefulness of fixing this is that it would remove the need for packages.ubuntu.com as a separate Web site. Compare <http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=contents&keywords=Gtk-3.0.gir&mode=exactfilename&suite=natty&arch=any>.

The new contents table should help us address this, though we haven't tuned it for searching on (yet).
