This is especially useful for ruby1.8-removal transition. Because as
per new ruby policy source packages use ruby- prefix and transitions
page lists packages without this prefix. Even when the package is
updated it shows as in bad shape since the updated package is in NEW.
It takes a manual check in NEW to actually see if work needs to be
done. If there is some indicator showing package in NEW is fixing this
would be awesome. We can match binary packages to find this out.

Can you provide an example of what kind of information you would like
shown? Both the old PTS and the new tracker already show an indicator
when a source package has a new version that is in NEW.
