Description

It appears if a package is marked as malicious then it is removed from `deps.dev` including the API.

Example: `pkg:/npm/nx@20.12.0` is malicious and shows a 404 on `deps.dev` site. https://deps.dev/npm/nx/20.12.0

Example: `pkg/npm/nx@20.8.0` is not malicious and is shown as expected. https://deps.dev/npm/nx/20.8.0

I have not verified if the malicious package version record is removed from the BigQuery dataset as well or is it a feature of the `deps.dev` app.

Is this expected behaviour? It seems counterintuitive to have these packages removed from `deps.dev` which serves as an enriched log / database of open source packages with its associated attributes for various use-cases.
