Archive index

We want to replace app-install-data and related packages with an automated system. By March 2010, Launchpad should be producing for every archive it controls — including Multiverse, Canonical Partner, and every PPA — an index of names, icons, summaries, categories, and keywords for all software items in the archive.

Launchpad should put this index in a standard place in the archive, and rebuild it whenever a package is added or changed.
