Matthew Paul Thomas (mpt) wrote : Redundant (and Delete-less) "Upstream links" pages for a source package in every distribution series

The page for a distribution source package displays its upstream links, and lets you update them.
<https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/warzone2100>

But every distribution series, regardless of whether the package was published in that series, has its own "Upstream links" page for that package. These pages are near-identical to each other, all of them linking to *all* the distribution series, not just the current context series. And all of them are missing the edit/delete functions found on the distribution source package page.

Bongalicious!

I suggest abolishing the distribution series source package upstream links page. Instead, make the upstream link directly editable from the distribution series source package page, if (bug 204119) the package was published in that series at all.
