Subject: Package to list all other packages in distribution?
Wouldn't it be great if there was a Debian package to list, decribe and
index all other packages?
Imagine having .html files that describe every nifty tool on the CD,
perhaps even with an `Install it!' buttom.
Does such a tool already exist? I've been using Debian for over a year
and I'm still surprised to find out what's available!
(And yes, this `local' browser tool would be better than the search tools
on Linux web sites)
