Comment 6 for bug 538024

Sorry Jonathan.

I do not understand your suggestion.

I proposed that we add a button (This is not packaged in Ubuntu) to the form.
The action records the date in last_date_packaging_check.
When the current date < last_date_packaging_check + 1 year,
    the project page *does not* suggest possible packages.
When the current data > last < last_date_packaging_check + 1 year
    the project page suggest possible packages.

This rule is strictly on the packaging portlet.
Project series can continue to link to packages (though without the suggestion) from the
    series page
    and the packaging page
Series package pages will continue to suggest the project as the upstream.

I think you are suggesting that we set a time (maybe 2 months) in which Launchpad asks the question then?
This implies that the project has some date aleady present that we can use as the start of this suggestion period.
I do not know of a field that can be used.
