Format of html index vs pdf

I created a new index ct and have entries like

@ctindex Package @subentry diag @subentry mat_function
@ctindex Package @subentry distrib @subentry pdf_normal

The index in the pdf file looks something like

Package,
  diag,
    mat_function          <page>
  distrib,
    pdf_normal             <page>

This looks really, really nice.

But the html version looks like

P
      Package, diag, mat_function:         Functions and Variables for diag
      Package, distrib, pdf_normal:        Normal Random Variable

This is perfectly usable, but it would be nice if it could be arranged a bit more like the pdf manual to make the distinction between the subentries better.  I was kind of expecting something more like the pdf version which is nice because it shows the hierarchy of the subentries very nicely.

I'm basically trying to replace Documentation Categories that is generated by using a bunch of scripts to extract categories in the texi sources.  Using a new index pretty much works just fine at the expense of a one-time cost of manually adding all the index entries.  It would be nice if the html index looked more like the pdf index.  Or at least separated out the 2-level subentries a little better.
