Bug Description

I set up and published an exhibit for multiple packages yesterday, and had some fun this morning debugging why the exhibit was not visible on the client.

It turns out that (apart from some other issues on the client, discussed with mvo on IRC) the client cannot display multiple packages for download if there is whitespace between the comma-separated list. That is:

* 'lightread, fogger, picsaw' <- does not work
* 'lightread,fogger,picsaw' <- does work

In order to be a bit more robust, I think the server should strip the whitespace before publishing the JSON for the client to consume. Alternatively, the client could also do the stripping, so I'm adding a task for it too.
