It strikes me as a clourful and interactive (and kinda more nice that
way) version of devscripts' grep-excuses.
It feels like those two things could be merged together and gain a lot
from each other (especially the plain grep-excuses…). I think it that
much that I even opened a bug... https://bugs.debian.org/909247 :)

Well, IME that's when most of annoying issues come into being.
Reading update_excuses.html is very easy; sure it may be handier to not
have to load the whole page each time, but it's too bothersome. OTOH
understanding update_output.txt is much harder, and often one needs to
use other tools (dose, …) to understand the failure reasons.
