Bug Description

Distribution release binary package pages, such as <https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/gutsy/+package/gnome-lokkit>, have only the "Overview" tab available.

Distribution binary packages will never have Code, Bugs, Blueprints, Translations, or Answers, because those things are categorized by source package instead (or by entire distributions or distribution releases). Therefore, the hierarchy navigation (location bar) is going too deep. It should go only as far as the distribution release, and the tabs should apply to that distribution release.

The package page here provides superficial information, mostly the stuff in the description of the control file, and then the page links out to the source page where we have a lot more information relating to the package. As you can see the source page and the package page have a lot of information, and I believe this design decision was made to avoid cluttering all that info. on a single page. Its could be annoying to some extent, but keeps things a little organized :)
