Source package release page links badly

Bug Description

On this page (an example)
https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/desktop-multiplier/2.2-3-0ubuntu1

the link called "desktop-multiplier" links to
https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/dapper/+package/desktop-multiplier

it should link to
https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/desktop-multiplier

or even the upstream product page (as the upstream product page should provide easy links into the product in each distro)

rationale: the fluff around that link does not tell the user you are linking to the product in a specific distro and it looks like you are linking to the main page.

There's two places that "desktop-multiplier" is linked, once to: https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/desktop-multiplier
and once to: https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/dapper/+package/desktop-multiplier

The latter seems correct to me because it's a binary package link to the most recent series although I sympathise with your point. Give that the source link you suggest is already there (this bug is old, it may have been added since) do you have another suggestion on what to do with the package link?
