Optimially we would use exact package name, but yes, Ben had a horrible
performance with those.  I tried to create the same in regex, but I
never got it right, so I gave up in the end.  The particular suggestion
works for the particular example, but fails with dashes:

$ echo a-b | perl -ne 'print "MATCH\n" if m/\ba\b/'
MATCH

So, if you had libkontactinterface4 and libkontactinterface4-a, then the
regex would still be broken even with your suggestion.
