Check publication history

Note

Currently this page only contains checking removals, but we can add other sections as we find them.

Commonly known is the source publishing history, which is also linked from the package. For example in publishing history you can see automatic and manual removals, but also the effects of a package going through -proposed migration.

Less known is that there also is a binary package publishing history, which you might want to check if e.g. removing a binary for a single architecture. For example in this case which can be seen in effect on https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/plucky/armhf/pdfsandwich.
