It is sometimes very confusing. What would you think when you are given a
response that points to exactly one package and 100% in the quality column?
Or get tcltutor 2b4-3 from testing with 99% and tcltutor 2b4-3 from unstable
with only 93%?

Or `match to search'? In any case I believe the calculation method should be
completely changed.
