You might not be aware, but AppWatch keeps a database of the number and 
version of packages (plus a separate stat for user/... section). It also has a 
history of nearly every package in Fremantle and Diablo repositories. This 
database has not yet been documented or advertised publicly, just used by 
AppWatch itself, but still it's there and free to use if there is interest.
