dose-ceve --deb-native-arch amd64 -c patchutils -T deb \
deb:///var/lib/apt/lists/*_dists_sid_main_binary-amd64_Packages \
| grep-dctrl -n -s Package '' | sort -u
I would strongly advice you do not re-implement this kind of functionality
yourself if you value your time. It is quite complicated and thus prone to
errors. For example consider complex concepts like versioned provides,
multiarch, architecture wildcard matching and version constraints.
