How to tell whether a package is part of "Server" or "Desktop"

[John Schofield]

Thanks for the reply. But I'm not familiar with Bazaar or really  
Launchpad, and was unable to find the information you pointed me to:

http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/ubuntu-seeds/ 
ubuntu.dapper/ is an empty directory.

Removing parts of the path to see if I get anything sensible,
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/ubuntu-seeds
gets me not found, as does
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/

http://bazaar.launchpad.net/

redirects me to https://launchpad.net/

Search through mailing list archives got me here:
https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-announce/2006-June/ 
000149.html

But going to the list of packages maintained in bzr:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BzrMaintainedPackages
I see that there are only five.

What's going on?

To recap for people new to the thread, I'm looking for a way to  
determine whether a package in Dapper will be supported for three  
years (desktop) or five years (server).
