What if the two pages were combined?
Such that, if it's deemed that you have *upload* rights to this PPA
(ie, a member of the owning team), then additionally display the
package details blob? And if you're not (presumably just a user
looking to download some warez), then the view remains the same?
Would that not solve both cases (user and developer)?
