Well, that's what they show, just the downloaded version of it. It is
mainly useful if you use a shared download dir as it will contain a
bunch of unrelated stuff.

I'm not sure if a show-me-what-make-source-would-do target
(E.G. something showing the upstream URLs) would be useful enough to be
worth adding.

Yes.

 Thomas> And what should we display in the case of a local package (as added by

That's a good question - The path to the directory perhaps?
