This reminds me of a question I wanted to ask a while ago: I understand
that metadata in extras.u.c is handled differently than in the main
archive. In a conversation with Anthony, from the Server Team in
Consumer Apps, it seems this makes it a bit trickier for ARB apps to
appear in apps.ubuntu.com (they are not there yet).

I imagine as well that the metadata is perhaps stored differently due to
historical reasons. In any case,

- Would it be possible to bring the structure of extras.u.c closer to
archive.u.c in order not make it easier for ARB apps to appear in
apps.ubuntu.com?
- If so, who's the best person to talk to about this subject?

Thanks.

Cheers,
David.
