It looks like the about page (http://packages.ubuntu.com/about/) was not
updated.

Well, there was a LOT of CSS in the debian files. If I had modified
those files instead of creating a new one, probably when changed in
master, they would conflict. Moreover, probably we don't want changes
from debian CSS directly in packages.ubuntu.com, because probably they
will break things (and a manual review would be needed anyway).

IMO, it's better to implement new features from debian correctly (read
manually) instead of get them merged and have to fix them. What do you
think?
