It would be easiest, I think, to make the source repo, the package
status, and other metadata (signed, etc.) into keywords and then enhance
the keyword browsing. The "filter" functionality Stefan suggested makes
sense across keywords *and* package names and descriptions, and can
easily be plugged into the current "Filter" function in the menu.

I don't think it's good to ever hide those, but maybe they could be
given the "required-by=user-level-package" tags (multiples would be OK)?
And then in the UI they could be presented in a visually different way.
But hiding them would be a problem if you end up installing things you
didn't want.
