whohas is very handy here.  A small script, such as
whohas ekiga|tr -s " "|cut -d" " -f1,3
executed each night.  Note that there are many distributions, and each
distribution has several versions.

Or, better, at the beginning, we could just put the whole output of
whohas ekiga.  Later, we can improve it.
