New source package page does not show all release pockets

Bug Description

If you look at an example like:

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pyspf

You will see that the only release listed for Edgy is a backports release. This is inappropriate as backports is a separate project from Ubuntu. Ideally the page would show all release pockets (release, proposed, updates, security, backports), but to show only backports is particularly wrong.

Yes. I'd prefer it also showed the component, but sabdfl said no on that.

The component in which the current version is published in that release?

Yes. Just as in the component column in "Source package publishing history" currently.

Because Universe/Multi-verse is unsupported, I think it's important that this information be in the basic source package page and not hidden in a non-obvious location like publishing history.

For the summary source package page, I think the component is "too much
information". That is available on the full package publishing history,
which is a single click away, or a greasemonkey tweak away.

If it's because of the width of the table we could replace the
distroseries status with the package component; on a package level, the
component is definitely a lot more useful than the status of the series.

 I'd prefer to keep the series status, since it determines the relative
importance of updates to the package. The component is available in the
detailed publishing history.

If I have to pick one, I agree.
