More importantly, where exactly should they link to? After all, most
webmasters know that it's bad form to link into arbitray pages on someone
else's site. My suggestion: post instructions on the package home page
(that would be
<http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/software/packages.html>, I think),
encouraging developers to link there for build instructions, to link into
the binaries browser for binary downloads, and also to check the links
there back to their own site.
