My starting point would be something like [1].

(And yes, I think we old jeezers have the responsibility to show
folks ways to use the Internet instead of being used by it ;-)

There is some obvious low hanging fruit there, the first which comes
to mind would be to add a subdomain for each package: this would
leverage the search engine's `site' filter.

Of course there's that higher hanging fruit: add a useful search
facility to debbugs. I hear that there are project funding resources
with Debian in search of a project [2]. Perhaps Gnu and Debian could
band together for that? Some GSOC?
