The style Wichert chose has the advantage that everybody can create correct .debs. I doubt that Debian would like to maintain a database including every single entitiy that ever released .debs. If only the Big Ones like Debian, Corel, Storm created .debs this would be no problem but there are quite some inofficial apt places out there. This way you even catch local and equiv packages. yours, peter -- PGP encrypted messages preferred. http://www.cosy.sbg.ac.at/~ppalfrad/
