@Kleidukos Did you find / can you blame the responsible commit? Maybe there is a comment there whether this is intended behavior or not...

@andreasabel There is no "responsible" commit to blame, I believe it was always the behaviour since at least 2013, but it's not a correct behaviour.

I agree that this is an overt and easy fix -- will bring resources in line with the displayed info on the standard page.

@gbaz I took a stab on this #1527

I don't think changing these endpoints to do something else is in line with what they were added to do. They exist for the Mirror feature, and the idea is that when you mirror, you can later patch up the packages such that they fit the original server.
I think it would be better to just remove them entirely, and have the mirroring feature set the right
uploader-timeanduploaderat creation time, without needing to 'patch up' an already mirrored package.
