The search / redirection
http://packages.qa.debian.org/common/index.html
points to may provide unexpected results in some cases.

For example, put a single dot into the search box and submit the search.
http://packages.qa.debian.org/common/index.html?src=.

It looks like the rewrite rule is just a little bit too simple.

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^src=(.)(.*)$
RewriteRule ^/common/index.html$ /%1/%1%2.html? [L,R,NE]

the untested fix might be:

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^src=(.)(.+)$
RewriteRule ^/common/index.html$ /%1/%1%2.html? [L,R,NE]

(i.e. require at least two chars)

BTW, which is the minimum length for a source package name? three/four chars?

For the sake of saving everybody having to test this, which takes a
while, this is the result:

  An error occurred while loading http://packages.qa.debian.org/common/index.html?src=.:

Hi,

This appears to have been at least partly fixed; submitting a single
character simply causes the page to reload. One can still cause a
redirect loop by searching for "..", but it could be argued that's a
case of GIGO.
