This could be combined with the "update" option in deselect, or a new
"scan packages" option could be added.

I tried using "dpkg --scanpackages".  When that didn't work I tried
every variation I could think of (Scanpackages, ScanPackages, scan-packages...)
It looks like I'll have to wait for the update.
