Bug#162965: dpkg -l should always display full package name

["Thomas Hood" <jdthood@mail.com>]

Package: dpkg
Version: 1.10.4
Severity: wishlist

It would be useful if dpkg -l would enlarge the "Name" field
sufficiently to display the longest package name in the list.

Perhaps this behavior should be selected by an option.

With the current behavior, I sometimes have to enlarge my
X terminal to several screen widths in order to induce
a Name field wide enough to display full package names.
(This problem arises often when printing lists of *-modules-*
packages.)
