Hi Togan,
at the moment all screenshots are coming from debian, we are using the 
debshots[1] server at
http://screenshots.debian.net. For the future, we can check if it's worth 
running our own debshots server,
or see if multi-distribution support gets added to debshots. We could also use 
distromatch[2] to get the debian
package name, fetch the screenshot from screenshots.debian.net and cache it on 
our side.
That also depends on the debshots maintainers, if they are upset about the 
traffic we create.

Are there other ideas for handling the screenshots?

Greetings
