Bug Description

What is a download page good for, if there is no way to download a packages that page?
I did uninstall ethtool because apt-get marked it as obsolete and I didn't check,- just confirmed, silly me in the first place. So I went to:
https://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/armhf/ethtool/download

But Download is just one of a few meaningless words on that page. The advise to use a package manager isn't very helpful in that case either as you can imagine.
I've had to go to a dirty page to download the package to copy it to a USB and then install it from there.
Look at least a little from the users perspective, except you want to keep Linux as freakware for poeple that could actually write their own OS.

This seems to be a problem specific to armhf architecture (and maybe all other special architectures that are only available at the http://ports.ubuntu.com repository server).
For i386 and amd64 architecture the download page does provide links, e.g. https://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/amd64/ethtool/download
