Let's wait to discuss the implementation details. I'm a bit interested
in how a URL for a package set looks like. You said on IRC that you
decided to give package sets it's own top-level space. And looking at
the code, a URL path looks like:

    /package-set/desktop

And with a distro series, it would be either

    /package-set/desktop/hoary

or

    /package-set/hoary/desktop

Now, the obvious question is, what about the distribution? Are we not
going to have package sets for non-Ubuntu distributions ever? Why
doesn't the package set hang of the distribution in the first place?

Given the current URL structure, how will the UI navigation look like?
