This thread is lacking another proposal.

Put several columns for Debian: experimental, unstable, testing and 
stable. In each column put either "missing" or the version as text. For 
the color, follow a simple scheme with pure colors going this way:
  missing (red)
  major lag (orange)
  minor lag (yellow)
  up to date (green)
  higher (blue)
and use a lighter shade of the pure color if it's in NEW and not in the 
archive yet.

Indeed, it can also be interesting to see how our packages progress 
within Debian.

Cheers,
